This beginner Tai Chi course can guide you from being out of shape and having no experience with Tai Chi to better health and and enjoyable daily Tai Chi practice of your own.
Transformative Tai Chi is based on Chen Pan Ling’s Tai Chi, which the method brakes down into blocks that can be understood by modern folks who don’t have experience with chinese martial arts terms and training.
Chen Pan Ling’s Tai Chi form and training methods are a little older than most Tai Chi we see on Youtube today. It is largely based on combining the methods of second generation yang style and adjacent masters, though it does incorporate some training theory from Xing Yi and Bagua. This causes misunderstandings with some modern day experts not familiar with the real history of Tai Chi.

- Emphasis on building a solid base through standing meditation
- Body mechanics are based on the natural walk cycle
- An emphasis on warm ups to open and connect the joints.
