Most people just don't want to put in the time and think it's some airy fairy crap due to western cultures view of it. In fact it seems to me western culture as hurt a lot of Asian arts.

Not so sure about that. If its an unfair reputation, its one fairly earned. Go to any big city in China and stroll the public parks and the vast majority of folks doing taiji are old folks getting some exercise and not fighting masters honing their deadly skills. Can't blame 'da West' for that.
