Robert Rickover tells tai chi teacher Thomas Cook: “I have a colleague who teaches tai chi at a high level. He’s been to China many times and studied with the master there. Many years ago, he wrote an article about the Alexander Technique and how it can be helpful for people studying tai chi and he told me he got a lot of flak for that. A lot of people who study tai chi see it as a complete self-contained system and that you would bring to bear another system seemed insulting to them.”
Thomas: “We can say the same thing about the Alexander Technique.”
