Learning tai chi
The first step in learning tai chi with our
school is to do the induction
course. After the induction course, students usually join
the school and commit to weekly classes.
2 week induction course
New students undertake a 2 week course.
It offers an introductory understanding of
tai chi:
• £20 for the 2 week course
• 2 consecutive Monday classes
• Explore new skills every week
• Receive corrections, tips & pointers
• One-to-one help throughout the course
• The opportunity to ask questions
The induction course is taught by Rachel Waller.
How long does it run?
The induction course runs for 90 minutes per session.
There are 2 sessions.
3 hours tuition in total.
An exercise class
Please bear in mind that during the induction course you will be on your feet and moving around for
the entire evening
(apart from 2 short breaks).
Tai chi is a workout. The training
is gentle, but if you're unfit, you may find it tiring at
first.
The Chinese exercise practice of tai chi can significantly boost the body's
immune system response to virus infection.

Science, regarding a University of California study)
When can you start the induction course?
You can start your induction course any time.
Just come down to the hall with your £20 (in cash) around 6:45 PM and we'll
get you started.
Alternatively, if you want to register and pay online, please send an e-mail.
What is the induction course for?
The induction course is for people who are interested
in
practicing qigong & tai chi (fitness
training) or tai chi (martial art) with us on a
regular basis.
These 2 introductory lessons prepare the student for the training ahead.
It teaches basic skills and insights pertinent to our curriculum.
Do we offer one-off taster lessons?
No, we don't. Instead, we do a 2 week induction course in order to give the
individual the opportunity to gain some sense of the vibe of the classes, and to
allow us to see if the person has the wherewithal to commit to tai chi
lessons.
Q & A
Students are welcome to ask questions about any of the topics being
considered, the
syllabus, the teachers and the school.
School members will endeavour to answer all questions as fully as possible.
Join the school...
After the induction course people join the
school.

Tai chi class or school?
Before I came to Sifu Waller three years ago I had spent six years at
four different classes trying to learn tai chi. None of them had a
syllabus of any kind. Most were offering tuition of the simplified 24 step, with no self defence and no regard for the health of knees or back.
The classes were for one hour only and
cost about the same as ours.
