Creating a Tai Chi animation.

I would like to crate a Tai Chi movie with all the proper ancient moves and positions. I’ve practiced tai Chi for years and have no students to teach. My first student is pretty stupid and I can’t teach it to move. It’s my fault for not knowing how to teach a student (blender model) to move. That student is the first man robot I’ve downloaded for Blender 2.5. I’ll need to touch up on my knowledge in Blender. I’m familiar with Poser and started in modeling many years ago. I know some basics so I can work my way around a little quicker than the newbie.
Now I’m back to newbie status and need some help.
Heres what I need to start.
I need one male-female-robot-cartoon-whichever is easier model that I can work with. With that, I’ll can back and give some feed back to what I’ve learned so far. Can anyone recommend a model to start off with for building a tai chi movie?
