WHAT IS TAI CHI DIAGNOSTIC?

You
email us a short video clip of your chosen Chen
style form.
Our
Tai Chi experts will confidentially examine and
assess your video.
We will email reply with a free
"Bill of Health Report" report.
This simply
advises whether, in our humble opinion, your
Form is where it should be with due regards
to your present level of training.
If you
get the "big tick" (i.e. we see a
"Clean Bill of Health") then consider
having another check-up in 12 months time.
If we strongly
feel unable to give you the "big tick"
you may at that point want to order our Comprehensive
Report as below.
Of course
you may want to order a
Comprehensive Report right from the start
if you want advice on particular issues you
are having with your Form.
IS
IT FREE?
The
Bill of Health Report, as above, is free.
WHAT'S
IN THE COMPREHENSIVE REPORT?
The Comprehensive Report is a detailed
appraisal of your execution and grasp of the
Tai Chi basics (posture, alignment, mastery
of internal skills etc) with due regard for
your level of experience and training.
It will
identify your strengths & weaknesses with
suggestions for future training emphasis.
We can also advise on any particular concern
you may have with your form.
If you practise one of our listed
Chen Forms (Small & Thunder Forms excluded)
we will also offer comment on your execution
of the steps if they are similar to our "Chen
Fake/Zhao Khui" style.
WHO
IS TAI CHI DIAGNOSTIC FOR?
It is for anyone who has
seriously trained in Chen style Tai Chi for
at least 6 months.
WHY
DO I NEED IT?
| For
a Fresh, Confidential and Impartial Assessment. |
| |
Two
eyes are better than one, especially if
you are not happy with your progress or
some aspect of your Form.
Be confident that your are "On Track"
and your hard training is not in vain but
actually going somewhere. |

They
will learn more than we will
ever know!

No
access to a good Teacher?
Living
in an area without regular access
to a good Teacher? So who will keep
you on course? It won't be the mirror!
Anyone
with any experience of learning
Tai Chi knows how quickly the rot
sets in if there's no-one around
to keep you honest.
when
you've been doing something wrong
for a long time its thrice the work
to correct it later. Get your "ounce
of prevention..." now if you
find yourself in this difficult
position.

|
| Want
a Second Opinion? |
| |
A
time comes when the intelligent practicioner
starts to wonder if his/her Teacher's
corrections or refinements to their form/alignment
etc is actually "on the ball."
This
concern about one's Teacher's grasp of
particular points in your own case is
a natural stage in the journey of discipleship.
Usually a student's fears are unfounded.
Nevertheless when it comes to Medical
Specialists a "Second Opinion"
is quite acceptable. Why not do the same
with your TaiChi Health.
Clear
up those nagging doubts in a confidential
manner and restore confidence in your
Teacher's judgement/teaching.
|
But no one criticises my Form? |
| |
|
For
some practicioner's "ego"
is the great obstacle to efficient
progress.
Sometimes
unconscious isolation, sensitivity
or even pride (the ego) stops
us from really accepting or properly
hearing the advice that our Teacher
or colleagues politely attempt
to give us. Eventually people
may stop challenging us or even
give false praise instead. So
sometimes we naturally begin to
think that we are god's gift to
the martial arts ... while people
smile.
The
humbling fact for all of us is
that we all need correction to
progress so if this isn't happening
then something's not right.
Here's
a chance to test or maybe crack
that hard "ego shell"
for yourself in a helpful, independent
and confidential manner. Don't
be caught wearing "The Emporer's
New Clothes."

| Progressed
beyond your Teacher? |
| |
Perhaps
you feel you have progressed beyond the
skills of available Teachers in your locality.
Let our experienced teachers check out
your form and assist with any particular
concerns you may have.
Sometimes
the "ego" fools us into thinking
we possess unrecognised talent when really
we are going down a unique but ultimately
unrewarding path. Let us help you stay
on the Right Track.
|
WHAT DOES IT COST?
We
believe the following costs are very reasonable
considering the level of expertise applicants
are accessing and the time it takes to download
& store your video (dial up modem), view,
assess, write up and send off the associated
report.
