About Tai Chi Elementary Level
The elementary level of Tai Chi teaches you the correct stances and movements that cultivate the flow of chi (energy) in your body. Teacher Bruno advises that most students practise at elementary level for a year or more. The focus is on developing the rounded and relaxed movements (steps) of tai chi with the correct posture. Once students can perform their steps accurately and as second-nature, the focus shifts to feeling chi in the body.
Who should attend?
This course is suitable for those totally new to Tai Chi and with some experience (see above). Most students will study at elementary level for a year or more although this varies with individuals. Please stay with an elementary level class until Bruno suggests you step up to the next level. Feel free to discuss your progress with Bruno towards the end of a tai chi course if you feel you may be ready to progress in the following term. Note: Many students are happy to continuing practising at elementary level rather than progressing.
What should I bring?
Please wear comfortable clothing that permits movement.
Where does this Elementary level course lead to?
Tai Chi Level 2. In the second level of Tai Chi, the focus of learning is to develop an awareness of the balance between internal and external chi. Students may study at this level for several years before progressing. Tai Chi Level 2 is held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 6pm.
