Tai Chi Theory (for knotbinder)

Hello, just thought I would start a new thread about Tai Chi, mainly
because knotbinder and a few others on Malkavian's introduction thread
seem to be itching for a chance to show me up again :)

One thing I'll start off saying though, is if you want to flame anyone
or accuse someone of not knowing anything about tai chi, you're
welcome, but please also try to post something about Tai Chi that you
know, so you don't look like a troll/lamer/noob yourself. Hopefully we
can learn something in the sharing of information as a family.

Anyways why don't we start off discussing what you feel beginners
should be taught, and why. Let's stick to at most two or three
exercises, concepts, drills, whatever, that you feel beginners should
be taught in a "first" and/or "second" Tai Chi class. If for example
you feel a history lesson should be the first class, so be it, but
please explain why you feel this would be important.

Let's get the ball rolling, so to speak :)
