TCC Curriculum

• Beginning Form - learning the sequence of the movements
• T'ai Chi Principles Class (Eight Ways) - developing an awareness of the internal principles using the Eight Ways
• Fundamentals - practicing and applying these principles throughout the form
• Push-Hands I - learning the introductory movements of push-hands practice. This is a cooperative way of working with a partner to deepen our embodiment of the principles
• Intermediate Form - applying the deeper level of T'ai Chi principles learned in Push Hands I to the form so that the form becomes much more fluid
• Push-Hands II - learning two-handed push-hands
• Push-Hands III - deepening the principles within two-handed push-hands
• Push-Hands IV through VII - embodying the principles in the martial arts application of T'ai Chi
• Tai Chi Sword Form and beyond

Learning to teach, for those who are interested, is an integral part of our curriculum. It is my sincere desire to help each student progress as far as you care to go.

Winter 2008 T'ai Chi Classes

In cooperation with the Wallingford Senior Center, we are very excited to offer our Winter 2008 classes!

Free Introductory Class
On Monday evening, January 14th, at 6:15 pm, we will offer a free Introductory Class to give you the opportunity to meet us, see the T'ai Chi form, learn the first section, and ask questions. It will be a fun evening whether you decide to continue studying T'ai Chi or just want to check it out.

Beginning Form, 1st Third
We teach the Beginning form in three sequential ten week segments. The first, called "B-1", will start on Monday, January 28th. This class will continue to meet on Monday evenings at 6:15 pm.
Cost: $150 for new students, $75 to review.

Beginning Form, 2nd Third
Open to those who have completed the first third of the Beginning form, B-1. This ten week course will teach the movements which comprise the second third of the T’ai Chi form. In addition to learning the next sequence of movements, this course will deepen the quality of your T'ai Chi by reinforcing the principles introduced during B-1. This course will begin on Monday, January 28th, at 6:15 pm.
Cost: $150, $75 to review.

Intermediate Form
For those students who have completed the Push Hands I class, the Intermediate Form class will progress to a deeper and more internal understanding and practice of the form. New concepts are introduced that enable us to integrate our form and push hands practice as one body of knowledge. The Intermediate Form class is taught in two ten week segments. The first will start on Monday evening, Jan 14, at 8:15 pm.
Cost: $150
