Tai Ji classes are held weekly at various teaching centers. All curriculum including methods of instruction, application techniques, philosophy, and historical reference have been carefully developed and approved by Dr. Zibin Guo.

The Tai Ji program consists of twelve (12) week sessions or fourteen (14) week sessions depending on the teaching center and their operating policies. An optional one (1) hour general group practice session is available to all students on Saturdays. Students are encouraged to attend these sessions and reinforce the concepts learned during their assigned class time. Each session must be mastered before advancing to the next level of instruction. After completing the first session you will qualify to attend the "Push Hands" classes and workshops that may be offered. The typical course of instruction begins with:

• Level 1 - Yang Style "Standing Form"
• Level 2 - Yang Style "Linking Form"
• Level 3 - Yang Style "International 24 Form"
• Level 4 - Push Hands
• Level 5 - Yang Style 32 Tai Ji Sword Form

Once these courses have been completed, continued advanced instruction is available with:

• Level 6 - 42 International Competition Standard Form
• Level 7 - Chen Style Tai Ji

Tai Ji is a process, not an event. It requires dedication, desire, and practice. At first you should simply concentrate on the movements. Do not expect immediate and overwhelming results. As you progress, the benefits will eventually exceed even your wildest expectations.

Regardless of your desire, you will only get back what you are willing to put in. Both the beginner and intermediate sessions should be considered a minimum commitment. Do not expect to experience the full potential of Tai Ji until this minimum commitmment has been completed.
