What Should We Make Out of This INSANE Slab of Purple Heart?
We're in the process of making a small test run of Purple Heart Hybrid Kali, and I just had to hold this slab back! It is too wild. Probably the deepest purple I've ever seen. Plus, it's got some CRAZY figuring, which is super rare. Typically, only 1% of purple heart has figuring, a phenomenon that occurs when the tree grows under stress, creating denser parts inside the wood that reflects light differently, giving it an almost liquid look. This slab has it all! Deep color, crazy figuring, and incredible density. Now, we just need to "figure" out what to make out of it! (pun intended). What do you think?

If you need some angle shots I can take some pics of my set or a video with a comparison with a traditional bokken.

@Erik Allan I think the side by side comparison would really show the difference. I will find some time and get some shots for you. The biggest difference is in the blade portion. Much thinner like a katana and similar architecture from the kisaki all the way to the handle.
Tai Chi as part of a martial arts workout
Question for the hive mind: I would like to add a small Tai Chi component to my warm up routine for my primary art practice. Based on what I have seen it will help in centering the mind and body. I already do a good amount of stretching and floor drills before moving into my primary art. 1. Suggestions on how to get started (I am new to Tai Chi) 2. Can be learned with minimum investment ($$$) or just time 3. Anything the hive mind may want to know before suggestions. Any and all feed back is greatly appreciated. Arigato 😀

@Erik Allan I can't wait to see the video. Niten Ichi Ryu is my passion and my bible is The Book of 5 Rings.
