Course sequence

The following sequences indicate the usual order to take the courses offered at the Center. However students who have previously studied Tai Chi should choose the course appropriate for them. All courses are repeatable.

Often students who have never studied Tai Chi Chuan will take the Tai Chi Basics course a number of times before moving on. Some will move to the Standard 24 Posture Pattern course and others will move directly to the Beginning 108 course.

Occasionally the Center has sufficient interest to offer the Standard 42 competition pattern. Students should have completed the Standard 24 Posture Pattern course as preparation for this course.

The Tai Chi and Qigong Wellness Center, serving residents of Tacoma and Pierce County, Washington, is dedicated to providing an environment that promotes health and well being through the practice of Tai Chi Chuan and complementary disciplines as well as offering cultural exchange with China through travel and special programs.
