About Tai Chi Beginners
The beginner levels of Tai Chi teach you to find your correct postural position. It includes movements that foster the flow of chi (energy) in your body. It is recommended that students practise at the beginner levels 1 through to 3 for a year or more before moving to the intermediate level. However, many students prefer to continue with this level for longer periods.
