Approach to Instruction
Tai Chi Chuan is presented not as a collection of exercises, but as a system governed by principles. Classes emphasize:
Accuracy of movement
Structural alignment
Coordination of the body as a unified system
Incremental skill development through repetition
Students learn through direct practice, correction, and sustained attention to detail.
Teaching Method
All instructors follow the same teaching model:
Demonstration
Guided repetition
Individual correction
This ensures consistency across all classes.
The Center operates as a volunteer-led organization
Our instructors are certified lineage holders of Tai Chi Chuan and volunteer their time to teach classes out of a deep personal belief in its benefits.
Instruction is consistent across classes, and all students follow the same core curriculum.
This structure ensures continuity of teaching and preserves the integrity of the method.
