Tai Chi For Beginners; Part One:

When first starting out to learn Tai Chi Chuan it is important to know which style of Tai Chi you wish to learn. There are many styles of Tai Chi to choose from and they will be discussed in future blogs, you would also have to consider the time you have available to learn, as Tai Chi Chuan can takes years of continued practice to really learn the art fully. Over the years Tai Chi Chuan has evolved into a more commercial system, which has had a big impact on how people view Tai Chi Chuan. Now in today's western ways there is a need for instant gratification, hence it also has had a big impact on how Tai Chi Chuan is taught. Therefore when starting out, it is very  important to find a good teacher who is able to guide you with patience, understanding, focus, respect and good teaching methods. With Wudang Tai Chi Chuan the forms are broken down into a series of stages, helping the teacher to teach a correct method and student to learn correctly and to remember what they have been taught. In future blogs, we will look at more considerations, for those interested to learn this wonderful Chinese art.
