Hell, let's discuss the movies and the study. They often mix anyway.
I recently, finally, bought Once Upon a Time in China. I love this movie. It really is all that's great about martial arts films. The fight scenes aren't a distraction from the plot in any way. They establish and develop it. This is true of all great martial arts films and perhaps I'm most enthusiastic about this one because it's so new to me. It also helps that I'm a big fan of the Boxer Rebellion. Still, I love this movie. I'll have to save up and get the rest of them.
Other than that, I love classics like Fists of Fury, The Chinese Connection and Fearless Hyena... and many others.
I took Tai Chi for a year a few years back from an old Chinese man. It was interesting and I enjoyed it very much. I would have kept going, but it was expensive. There were only two of us training at the same time. The other kid was learning Tiger style. It was an interesting mix.
We didn't spar. ;]
