Considering its multiple benefits and accessibility, the Tai Chi Diploma Course is suitable for anyone who is interested in learning about and practicing basic Tai Chi, but have little or no previous experience or knowledge.

The course starts with an overview of Tai Chi itself, broadening the learner’s understanding of what it is, its purpose, history, and the four main styles within the practice.

Tai Chi is unique in what it offers practitioners - the course explains the physical and psychological health benefits that this gentle martial art provides.

The course explains the philosophy and principles of Taoism, which are embedded into this martial art, and whose understanding will ensure students gain even more from Tai Chi.

An area that many who are new to Tai Chi and related practices may not be familiar with, Qigong is an even older form of energy practice and is often used alongside Tai Chi.  The course will discuss Qigong and the 10 principles that are followed, no matter which form of Tai Chi someone follows.  The course identifies these 10 principles and explains what each are and the part they play within Tai Chi.

The course illustrates the basic stances and arm and hand postures used in Tai Chi. It illustrates where you should practice, what you should wear, and the ideal places to practice. It also provides a simple, illustrated warm-up that can be done before practicing Tai Chi.

The Tai Chi Diploma Course fully explains and illustrates how to practice the 21 figures of the Beijing Short Form (also known as the Peking Form) of Tai Chi, which will be used as your practice.

They have also included information that will be useful to those who really take to Tai Chi and are considering teaching and setting up a business.

Also included with the Tai Chi Diploma Course is a resource list of useful websites and links to videos.
