Hmmm… I’m not much into TaiChi, but it didn’t look like it to me – but maybe I’m wrong….it definitely is a slow and concentrated movement he does with his arms only. But he does way more than what you can see in the trailor. Would be so curious what one of you would suggest after having seen the film. Let me know please, if you do so!!

I watched the trailer Lynn linked to, and the assassin is doing Tai Chi at one point–maybe that is what Claudia saw?

I so want to see this movie now. I looked it up and watched the trailer and here’s where the Shiva Nata thing sort of popped up – one of the lines in the movie:
“Sometimes the reflection is far more present than the thing being reflected.”
And there is a millisecond clip where a woman is dancing but can’t tell what it is exactly.
The trailer is here http://bit.ly/yXLge if you want to have a looksee.
