Tai Chi learning 'helps'
Tai Chi learning 'helps'
When Tai Chi is performed well, it appears effortless and is beautiful to watch but like most things worth pursuing, it takes time. Curiosity, observation and tenacity served the first outsider to learn Tai Chi well, and they can still help make Tai Chi yours. Bill has found these additional factors true when it comes to teaching and learning Tai Chi:
A sifu, teacher, exhibits humility in their learning and teaching and are minimally responsible for providing a safe environment and accurately and respectfully teaching and coaching students until no longer required.
A student is responsible for showing up with an attitude of taking charge of their learning, genuinely participating in class and departing knowing they will only keep what they regularly practice.
To help overcome learning curves, Bill developed a classroom supplemental training video and has posted other videos viewable at the link to The Tai Chi Therapy YouTube channel. Bills' students say he's a patient and caring personality with a passion for teaching Tai Chi. They say his word pictures keep learning light and make the complex less so! For those seeking it, Bill transparently shares events from his life to help those seeking Tai Chi as a healthy way to age. From all of us at Tai Chi Therapy, we hope you'll come and experience a class...the first one is free!
