Default
Qigong & tai chi is the default
membership in our school.
Virtually anyone can study tai chi.
By contrast,
tai chi chuan membership
is conditional.
Syllabus
Tai chi students are encouraged to print off the
syllabus page and bring it to class with them.
Put your name on the sheet.
Ask Rachel to assist you in ticking-off unknown
items.
Working with Rachel
On a Monday night Sifu Waller
only teaches tai chi students so please do not ask him for assistance.
Qigong and tai chi is taught by Rachel.
Please approach the tai chi
teacher
with your
questions.
Corrections and refinement
In order to learn tai chi, it is necessary to have your practice
regularly corrected.
Initially, the student can only approximate
the required movements.
With many years of practice they slowly begin to use their body in the
internal way.
Assessment
Tai chi membership allows the student to proceed at their
own pace, in their own time.
However, standards must be taken into consideration.
There must be some
manner of assessment.
For example: If a student has learned a form movement and seeks to learn
a new movement, they must demonstrate the necessary level of competence
and understanding.
DVDs
Students will benefit immensely from buying class
DVDs.
The harder you work at the start of any endeavour, the easier the work will be
in the long-term:
Qigong
Long Yang form (section 1)
Long Yang form (section 2)
Long Yang form (section 3)
Exercises
The
DVDs can be
purchased in class.
Your responsibility
Tai chi membership does not pressure the
student in any way.
You may train as much or as little as you want.
Of course we would prefer all students to attend every class and train
daily at home.
But this is your concern, not ours.
We only get involved when you ask to do something that exceeds your capacity
and the request is unrealistic/dangerous.
Asking for more?
Prove that you can handle it.
Our insurance company policy insists that students are taught relative to competence.
If you want to learn more advanced material, you need to be capable of doing the
training.
Otherwise you will just get hurt. Do not ask for more if you are not going to put
in the work.
Insurance policy
The insurance policy states that students must study material appropriate to
ability.
Martial arts/self defence?
If a tai chi student wishes to switch to tai chi, ask Rachel.
But please note that you cannot address any combat
training as a tai chi for health student.
Refunds & cancellation
We request 7 days notice if you are planning to
quit. That way the student has the time to cancel their standing order in
advance.
Should the standing order be inadvertently sent after notice has been
given, we will immediately refund the amount.
If you fail to give notice, don't attend classes or decide to cancel after
the first of the month we will not refund the monthly fee.
