What is the best way to memorize a few things?

I have a physical and a writen karate test, I’ve got the physical down pretty well but I need to memorize over 3 pages of Martial Arts history and the Combat Rule of Thumb (10 senctences) what is a great meathod to memorize all of that by tomorow without repeatedly saying everything over and over again???

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.
