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 £60 payable on line using the Paypal secure payment system or 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.

    How do I enrol and pay?

    You can join one of our eight week courses by filling in the on line registration and payment form PayPal handles debit and credit card payments securely, and will send you a receipt for yor payment which you should bring with you to the first class.

    Alternatively you can come along on the open night, or first night fill in the registration form and pay by cash or cheque.

    You may also join as a member straight away 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.
