Has anyone ever tried Tai-Chi before?

The thread title says it all really. Do you guys have any experience of Tai-Chi and would you recommend it if so? I've been thinking of joining a class but it costs £30 a month so would like to hear from people who have had a go before splashing the cash!
Also how much is self-defence a part of tai-chi? I've seen groups of people doing those slow dance-like movements, but never anyone actually sparring. Don't fancy getting beaten up on my first day :eek2:

My grandfather is a big fan of it, he is the one I did sme with, it is quite quite cool and relaxing, also we were doing quite slowly as it was aim for relaxation, makethe moves faster and it is more like fighting...
Apparantly some great Tai-Chi master can hit people without touching them, just by collecting energy and such...
I have been to few clasf of Tai-Chi as well, but well a retared group, and there was never anything about self-defence...
Learning how to breathe to stop pain is excellent to learn tho, Tai-Chi can teach you a fair amount of control over your body...
I would recommend it...
Any suggestions if I should try?
