It has happened to many of us to subscribe to a tai-chi course full
of hope and expectancies, only to discover that those movements which
looked easy to learn by heart. In fact the sequences are difficult to
remember. Worse still, was to see someone learning fast, while we were
having difficulty in every session, to remember the postures
previously studied. Not to mention the new postures in each lesson
which were relentlessly being added to the long list of the
sequence.
“How come?” We asked ourselves. "I subscribed to this course to
feel better, to relax, to improve my inner feelings... but instead i
am already in difficulty during the first few lessons. It appears to
me that I am not learning anything and every time that my instructor
proposes something new to the students, I feel stressed. Yet, it is
said that Tai Chi relaxes you. How can I possibly relax if everytime I
try to remember the beginning (that's the beginning of the sequence!),
I can't even get started?" Hereafter different impressions come to
mind “I am not suitable for this discipline”, “I am hopeless”,
I came to the Tai Chi School to improve my self-confidence and I come
out feeling worse because my sensation is that of not being able to do
anything and furthermore I am spending money!!”.
It will certainly have happened even to the most highly
qualified Tai Chi instructors to think “I don't have many students
and I have lost students because they felt inadeuqate and unable to
learn the forms by heart. I, as an instructor, have trained and
practiced Tai Chi for many hours with relative ease but not all my
students practice Tai Chi every day. In fact many of them only train
in the Tai Chi School and I realise that if I were not here they would
not even be able to carry out 5 consecutive postures. I don't want to
create dependency towards me amongst my students, instead I want to
make them feel independant in order for them to practice this
beautiful art whenever they want, whenever they feel the need and
wherever they are".
Questions to which often even the best
instructors have difficulty in answering because unfortunately it's
not just a matter of being able to practice exceptionally well, it's
also a question of transmitting one's abilities particularly to those
who may have some coordination or mnemonic difficulties. This is
therefore the goal of this guide, to give students and instructors the
necessary tools to make the learning process of the Tai Chi forms
easier. In this way we can create a likeable pleasant relaxed
atmosphere in the Tai Chi School making the learning more favourable
thereby completing the object of each course: making it possible for
every student to remember and practice any Tai Chi form
autonomously.
A digital course which you can download immediately (this is already in itself a big advantage) that explains which methods to use in order to remember the Tai Chi forms in a more simple way. A valid guide suitable for any school or style, full of suggestions and practical examples for the students and indicators or ideas for the instructors.
