Eight Week Beginners Courses

Course Content

The course is designed for people with little or no experience of tai chi chuan and who
would like to understand more about Tai Chi Chuan by experiencing the movements
and learning some of the underlying theory.

At the end of the course you may,or may not, choose to stay on and complete the beginner's syllabus.

The course comprises:

  • Warm up exercises
  • Individual forms
  • Tai Chi Walking
  • Applications of selected forms
  • Introductory push hands
  • 5 Element Meditation
  • Theory and Philosophy

    What should I Wear ?

    We recommend loose easy fitting clothes that do not restrict movement
    e.g a Tee or sweat shirt, track suit bottoms and kung fu slippers, trainers
    or stocking feet are preferred to bare feet.

    There are changing rooms available.

    How much is it ?

    The course costs £50 payable either by cheque or cash.

    Where is it ?

    We are located in the gymnasium at the Furnival building,
    which is on Highgate Hill very close to Archway Underground station.

    You may join as a member by downloading a registration form as a printable PDF file
    that you can either return to us with a cheque for the appropriate amount, or bring with you to the first class.

    Refunds Policy

  • The payment for the course is non-refundable.

    However if your circumstances change or you are unable to complete the course, any unused classes can be held in credit for the year of your membership.

    So, for instance if you book and pay for the course and then have to drop out after 2 weeks for whatever reason, you can take up the remaining six lessons at any time in the year for which your membership runs. Or pay the pro rata sum for the previously taken lessons and rejoin a course from lesson 1.
