Tai chi is a rich and wondrous art. It combines the skills of deep relaxation with the skills of a martial art. You learn to hold your body in a totally relaxed way then move it with fluid power. Mind, body and breath work together to give you strength, stamina, mobility and slow down the aging process.

- Each module contains a range of videos and PDFs which explain everything in full
- Videos are short and to the point. Most are less than 3 minutes.
- New knowledge is gradually being added to each module making them even more valuable
If you want to learn the amazing art of tai chi but can’t find a good class near you don’t despair. We have broken down the Yang style 37 step short form into manageable chunks. Plus you get all the knowledge from one of the country’s most experienced teachers – Master Paul Chapman who has 40 years experience in tai chi and kung fu.
There is a lot of content in this course. But if you’re still not sure then read some of my reviews on our classes and course. Or look at our blog to see the quality of information that I’m giving away. Then imagine how much more you’ll be getting when you pay for it.
With many similar courses you have to buy the whole course and pay hundreds of pounds for a course that doesn’t contain anything like the content this does. Not with us.
Our online tai chi training course is split into modules. Each of them contains at least a month’s worth of lesson content and are currently priced at just £18 each!
That is a small price to pay but be aware the price is due to rise shortly as new knowledge is added so do order now. That way you will get the new knowledge at no extra cost.
Each module builds on knowledge from previous ones so start at the first one and gradually work forwards
Module One
The first module is an important one. Here’s the start of your journey and an introduction to some basic tai chi concepts. Unfortunately these concepts are all too often missing from so many tai chi classes. I’ve had so many students who have been to other tai chi classes but never been taught these basics.
- Basic principles
- Essential skills – stances, footwork and arm circles
- Basics of relaxing and gaining relaxed power.
Module Two
This is where you begin to learn the form properly. The form has been split into six sections which usually begin and end with the pivotal move ‘single whip’. It then becomes easy to repeat sections or skip ones. This first part of the form contains the whole first section. The moves in this section are often repeated later on. So learning these well now makes everything easier down the road.
Learn the full first section including
- Hold the ball
- Ward off
- Rollback and press
- Push
- Single whip
Module Three
Module three gives you some exercises to loosen your body before you begin the form. The more relaxed you are when you start the more benefits you’ll get from it.
