Please! I need a personal mentor/instructor that can teach me Northern Shaolin/Tai Chi. i live in Michigan!!!

i really need a personal instructor who is patient but strict. He/She also has to be wise and very experienced. I can’t go out of state and i live in michigan. Kind of a Karate Kid type of ordeal. I am hoping I don’t have to pay but I understand if a REASONABLE fee is requested. I would love if the instructor took me under their wing as an apprentice-sort-of-student. Like passing down a tradition or a legacy. If you are this instructor or you know someone who might be interested, please let me know asap!!!

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.
