8 Week on-line Foundation Course

The On-line Foundation Course is essentially the same as the in-person course. It has the same content but is done via a zoom link. The aim is to introduce participants to the principles and practice of Tai Chi Chuan using the Wu family's style of Tai Chi. Once you have booked and paid for the course you will be contacted with the details of how to connect to the zoom meeting. You do not need to own a zoom account, it works via your bowser, but you do need a computer, laptop, tablet or phone with both camera and microphone enabled. If you can link your device output to a large screen TV it would be ideal.

Tai Chi Chuan is composed of movement sets or forms, the whole set of movements is called "The Form". The course is based around The 12 step Form, a shortened version of the long form and allows participants to learn, experience and practice the movements of Tai Chi Chuan and relate them to the underlying theory. It is ideal for people with little or no experience of Tai Chi Chuan who would like to find out more about Tai Chi Chuan before making a commitment to learning the art in greater depth.

At the end of the course you should be able to perform, unprompted and unaided, the sequence of 12 forms comprising the 12 step Form and understand more about the principles and practice of Tai Chi Chuan.

What should I Wear ?

We recommend loose easy fitting clothes that do not restrict movement e.g a Tee or sweat shirt, track suit bottoms and kung fu slippers, trainers or stocking feet are preferred to bare feet.
