Description

Let’s take a guess at what’s on your mind! Many people ask themselves before starting Tai Chi:“Can I practice Tai Chi if I’ve never done it before?”“How can I learn Tai Chi quickly?”“I already know a bit about Tai Chi, but I want to learn more and don’t know where to start.”If any of these sound familiar—or if you have even more questions—then congratulations! By finding this course, you've already taken a big step toward solving them.The course we offer might be unlike anything you've seen before.This is a top-tier foundational Tai Chi course that every aspiring Tai Chi master should go through.In just one day, we’ll teach you the core Tai Chi principles, including hand forms, fist movements, and footwork. We’re confident you can master the basics in a day, and here’s why:We’ve developed a scientifically-based, five-step approach to teaching. This includes: full demonstrations, step-by-step instruction, key movement principles, common mistakes and corrections, and guided practice. This method is designed to align with how humans naturally learn and absorb information.Here’s how it works:· Full Demonstration: We show you the entire sequence of movements so you can see how everything fits together.Step-by-Step Instruction: We break down each movement into smaller, easier-to-follow steps. We guide you through each stage so you can learn efficiently.· Key Movement Principles: We explain the deeper philosophy behind Tai Chi, such as the concepts of Yin and Yang, and Qi, so you can connect with the movements on a deeper level.· Common Mistakes and Corrections: We highlight the most frequent mistakes that beginners (and even advanced practitioners) make and show you how to fix them, so every practice session counts.Guided Practice: Our expert instructor will practice alongside you, helping you build muscle memory and ensuring that these movements become second nature.You might be wondering: why is this approach so effective?It’s because Tai Chi, like any skill, requires starting with the basics and building a strong foundation. Think of it like learning to walk: first, you crawl, then stand, then walk, and eventually run. The same applies to Tai Chi. By mastering the basic movements first, you'll find it easier to progress to more advanced techniques. This is also in line with the core Tai Chi philosophy of the "Dao" (The Way): to master something great, you must first master the simple.How will you learn Tai Chi quickly with this course?How do we make something as subtle and complex as Tai Chi easy to learn? After conducting thorough research, we discovered that many beginners struggle with things like:How high should my hands be?How far apart should my feet be?How much should I turn my body or feet?How do I shift my weight properly?Most online courses don’t give you these specific details, but in our course, we take the extra step of providing precise measurements for every movement.We use four different perspectives to teach Tai Chi, which you won’t find in traditional lessons. These perspectives are:· Front View: Clearly showing the key movements and gestures, so you can easily grasp the main body positions.· Back View: Giving you a detailed look at weight shifts and the subtleties of each move.· Side Views (left and right): Showing how the body moves through space, highlighting the stretching and bending of the limbs.Additionally, we use data-driven motion tracking in the videos to give you:· Angle Rotation: Showing you exactly how much to turn your feet and body, whether you’re turning left or right.· Distance Markers: Helping you understand the correct spacing between your hands and feet.· Movement Pathways: Guiding you through the correct starting, moving, and ending positions of each movement.By following these precise measurements, you can practice Tai Chi with confidence, knowing exactly what to do.About Master Wen ShengguoThe instructor guiding you through this course is Master Wen Shengguo, a Tai Chi expert, university professor, and  a Sixth-Dan (中国武术六段) in Chinese martial arts, which is an advanced and prestigious ranking in the Chinese martial arts grading system.
