Understanding the training
Newcastle Tai Chi offers a lot of different learning
opportunities. It is important to understand what they are,
why they are different and what purpose they serve.
Lessons
Our school offers these classes:
Monday night
The Monday night sessions are an opportunity to practice basic
skills, learn new material, socialise, receive corrections, be graded and
ask questions.
Workshops
A workshop is an opportunity to look further into the art.
To work directly with
Sifu
Waller. To explore future topics in advance of your grade.
I'm really enjoying the training! There is so much to learn, so I'm
having to discipline myself to focus on what we are learning and try not
to think about how much more there is!
The workshop was excellent. It was great to spend all that time on one
concept and drill into it in more detail than is possible in a normal
class. It was great to delve into a single subject in so much depth. It
also showed how subtle tai chi is and yet so powerful. How small
adjustments can make a massive difference. It was also interesting the
difference between Tuesday's shuai jiao applications taster and the more
subtle essence of pushing hands. And how effective tai chi is when you
combine it all together. Plus the green tea lesson was great too, thanks.

Private lessons
A private lesson is an opportunity to work directly with Sifu Waller
and to receive individual corrections.
New starters are not encouraged to do private
lessons.
An inexperienced student lacks the
wherewithal to get the most out of the sessions.
It is essentially wasted money.
More experienced school members can benefit
from private lessons because they have some sense of context and perspective.
