5. FAQs1) How intensive is the course? The Yang-style Tai Chi consists largely of slow, steady and soft movements. It is suitable for most people, of any age.
2) I have made vacation plans and might miss some classes, will there be any make-up classes? We will review the missed classes and provide you with some make-up suggestions. We also practice what was taught in the courses during the club activity time. Please let the instructors know in advance. Unfortunately we don\\\'t support refund and seat transfer.
3) Do I need to prepare special Tai Chi clothing? There is no specific dress code. We recommend comfortable, loose-fitting and breathable clothing, and a pair of soft-soled shoes suitable for exercises.
4) Can I take the course if I don’t have any Tai Chi experience? You may consider taking the course on 42-Form Tai Chi, which does not require any previous Tai Chi experience. This course could also be helpful if you have some previous experience in Tai Chi, and hope to refresh and get better at posture or movements in your practice.
5) May I audit a class first before deciding to join one of the courses?
New participants are welcome to have one free trial session.
6) Q: Why does this time have only the first half of the 48-form?
A: We will only go through the first half for the 48-form in Fall 2026 session. This schedule will give participants more time to review and practice the material learned in the classes. Participants who wish to continue and learn the second half of the 48-form can sign up for the class in Spring 2027 session.
