Welcome to the Zen Chestnuts Tai Chi
About ZenChestnuts
One’s first experience of a Tai Chi Class or Instructional Video is
very important.
One
should
be
able
to
follow
quite
comfortably
and
get
a
significant
sense
of
well-being after the first session.
Jumping
too
quickly
into
more
complex
Tai
Chi
or
Qi
Gong
could
lead
to
frustration.
Tai
Chi
is
a
slow
burner.
The
effects
of
Tai
Chi
are
felt
during
the
session and often for the rest of the day.
It’s
best
to
start
with
routines
that
are
simple
to
follow
yet
till
contain
the
essence of Tai Chi.
When
learning
from
an
instructional
video
one
does
not
have
the
benefit
of
the
Instructor
first
hand
which
can
lead
to
quick
corrections.
Also
working
with
a
group
live
helps
to
see
from
a
dual
perspective
of
front
and
back
of
the movements.
The
instructional
Videos
are
designed
to
start
from
scratch
with
Tai
Chi.
One
should
always
be
able
to
see
the
instructor
doing
the
movements
in
front
of
you rather than with the back turned facing away from the student.
A
live
class
environment
differs
slightly
and
one
can
follow
the
group
as
well
as the instructor.
Two
main
styles
are
used
to
get
started
with
Tai
Chi.
They
are
Sun
Style
and
Yang Style.
