The Tai Chi Healthways Discussion Board

Jesse I am teaching at community college 8 brocades using your dvd as lesson plan. I break it down in one hour sessions once a week for seven weeks. Session 1, I show exercises 1-4 and assign them to practice the exercises during the week until session 2. At 2 session, we review 1-4 and explain/demonstrate exercise 5-8 and assign practice of all 8 until following week. Then at session 3 through 7, we review/practice all 8 pieces.

I also teach taiji ruler which has 7 exercises only one exercise per week and review/add one more each week until at week 7 we will have completed all.

I would like to add to or replace with another qigong set in the future. I have looked at yi jin jing and have been cautioned about possible dangers in this practice without qualified teacher with "hands-on". I am looking now into 13 luohan that you have dvd of. I notice at the end of the "blurb" you "suggest 25 hours" instruction. Would you kindly give me a sample class curriculum to look at? For example, would this require a twelve week session? or could you do 2 per week with in between practice sessions by student until all are accomplished (at least at beginner level) Thanks Vic in Illinois
