Bruce Kumar Frantzis - Tai Chi Mastery Program

The 'Best' Way to Learn Tai Chi: The Tai Chi Mastery Program contains over 65 hours of lessons on DVDs and online. Although this will never take the place of a real teacher, I feel this program this will enable these teachings to reach those who do not have the time or money to attend events. It is also important for those who don't have a high-level teacher nearby. This program contains master-level lessons that you can watch over and over for years to come. This is invaluable to anyone who is a committed student of tai chi. Some of my best teachings are included that I have NEVER released publically, material many teachers just don't know. You can watch a master do a form, but very few can pull out all the details that make that form powerful. I will also mention here that we are in the process of scheduling some LIVE Tai Chi Mastery Program member-only events in the future - so stay tuned.

Tai Chi Short From Training DVDs:

Delivered in TWO installments, the lessons and DVDs were taken directly from a FOUR-WEEK tai chi instructor training [total value of the one hundred who attended the 28-day instructor training was $4495]. It contains detailed instruction on the internal components and move of the 27 move Wu Tai Chi Short Form with consistent references to the Yang Style of Tai Chi. References to the Chen style are made when possible You will be guided move by move in great detail to understand both the external movements and what is inside each move.
