WCCA Tai Chi club training courses

liuqingneng

The WCCA Tai Chi club was founded in 2016 by several local residents passionate about Tai Chi exercise and education. We have been providing Tai Chi training courses to local communities since then.

To better serve the communities is one of our major club missions. We participated in community events by offering numerous performances in retirement homes, Chinese New Year gala, the Waterloo Public Library Moon Festival (see tweets from Officer Dave Chen and WPL)and the Oktoberfest Parade (take a look at 5:30 of this YouTube video).More previous activities and pictures can be found in our web page.

We offer Tai Chi training courses from time to time. Please see the following for the on-going or previous courses:

FAQs

1)     I have vacation plans and might miss someclasses, will there be any make-up classes?

We will review the missed classes and provide you with some make-up suggestions to follow/practice during the club activity time. Just report to the instructor in advance.

2)     Do I need to prepare special Tai Chi clothing?

There is no specific dressing code, but we recommend comfortable and breathable clothing and soft-soled shoes.

3)     Can I take the course if I don’t have any Tai Chi experience?

Basically our courses are suitable for trainees with no experience. Trainees with some experience will also find this course helpful. Some advanced one, such as the 56 form Tai Chi course, would be suitablefor trainees with more Tai Chi experience. But we've seen people without experience started with the advanced one. What they need were more practice.

4)     How intensive is the course?

The Yang-style Tai Chi, such as 24 form, 42 form and 48 form, consists of slow, steady and soft movements and is suitable formost trainees. The Chen-style Tai Chi, such as 56 form, consists of moderately fast and intensive movements and is suitable forexperienced trainees.
