8 Step Tai Chi – Level 1

In this course we begin to learn the movements of the 8 Step Tai Chi. This well known classic sets the foundation for learning some of the longer and more complicated Tai Chi and Qigong forms.

Each week you will be sent an instructional video where Sifu Hepple will guide you through the various sections of the 8 Step Tai Chi. Each video is a continuation of the form, building up on the previous part until you have learned the complete form. You may send your own videos to Sifu Hepple, to ensure correct position and alignment. You’ll also receive an invitation to join in online with our practice on Tuesday evenings from 6.30-7.30pm for the duration of the course.

At the end of the course you will receive a completion certificate that you can print out.

It is necessary to complete the Silk Reeling Exercises Course before you can progress on to this one. It helps to train synchronising coordinated movements with breathing. You also begin to learn some of the skills needed for this course.
