NOoo, I want new bands to listen to.

Is Tai Chi a possible next level of Kung-fu.?

I have recently begin studies in Northern praying mantis school (YEA!) and every now and then I like to talk with instructors or senior students about Chinese martial arts stuff (History, martial arts history or chinese/japanese martial arts beefs lol) and while on the subject of an anime reference of Neji he mentioned Tai chi as a new level. He said After you have mastered Kung-fu or “Hard-work” which trains you to utilize your physical energy to its best you can choose to push further into Tai-chi which is a form of spiritual (chi but not as in blasts) inner body type thing that in time can reap healthy as well as very interesting benefits. I’d like some comments on this is all.

what do you call those big kites that ninjas fly on?

I know odako is japanese for big kite but I still cant find the name for the kites that like a clan of ninjas would fly on. they are square shaped, sometimes have a print/marking on them. the ninjas would be holding each corner of the kite, with both hand and both feet. they look like flying squirrels sort of. you’d see them swoop into a scene from out of the sky/woods like in old kung fu movies. ya know.
better yet would be the name of a film that has this happening in it .
thanks
