The knowledge of Tai Chi pracitce and exercise
What is the age range in classes?
This varies from class to class but expect a broad range of ages, (teens and 20's up to 80's & 90's) but it is not common for the art to be taught to children as the training is a little slow for their tastes. Some classes are specifically targetted at the over 50's.
Do you have to be fit to start doing Tai Chi?
No, in fact many of the Tai Chi movements can even be adapted to wheelchair users, although some individual attention is required. Do however check with your doctor if you are in any doubt before starting any program of physical exercise. Also let your instructor know of any disability you may have that may restrict your ability to perform certain movements.
What do you wear for Tai Chi?
No special clothing is required but the right outfit can help you move more easily and balance better. Any clothing in which you can move freely is suitable eg. tracksuit bottoms, T-shirts and gym shoes, but you can buy special tai chi footware and trousers in our Tai Chi Shop
Are classes suitable for men and women?
Generally there is a mix of men and women in a class. Women-only classes are a rarity in Tai Chi and it is generally benefical to have a mix of Yin (female) and Yang (male) energy within a class.
