Earn the right

To wear a black T-shirt you must pass white belt in its entirety.

Weekly tuition
15 workshops/boot camps/private lessons per calendar year


Black T-shirt


Tai chi chuan students wear:

Black cotton crew-neck short-sleeved T-shirt
Black cotton martial arts/karate trousers
• Flat footwear; preferably not training/sports shoes


Sweatshirt

Tai chi chuan students may wear a plain long-sleeved black sweatshirt over their black class T-shirt.


Pockets?

Please note that T-shirts or sweatshirts with pockets are not appropriate attire for tai chi.


Sweatshirt and sash?

Please note that you cannot wear a sash and a sweatshirt.
This is not allowed.
If you have passed white belt and still want to wear a sweatshirt, please transfer to the health group.


Kung fu suit?

Once the student has passed green belt, they have the option of wearing a kung fu suit.


Risk of transfer

Our insurance company states that tai chi students can only train material appropriate to their level of fitness and ability.
This means that the syllabus must take the student's condition into account at all times. Although this may sound restrictive, it is actually quite sensible and safety conscious.

Please do not ask for charity.
