Where can i get certified as Tai-Chi instructor?
I have been involved in Tai Chi and Qigong for 26 years. My teachers are from China and are well known Internationally. Tai Chi is NOT something you can learn from a DVD or book. TC/Q has to be guided and those modalities are not sufficient. What happens when your body shakes or you have certain feelings that come over you? A book cannot answer those questions. TC/Q are internal and supervised. How can someone think they can train on their own?
There are different certifications but none of them are recognized as there is no recognized organization. It doesn’t matter what the qualifications are, if they aren’t there, then they can’t supervise you. Let me ask anyone who has earned their black belt or other recognitions and ask them if they learned their art from a book. You can’t take a weekend class and think you “have it” especially to think you can teach. Oh, my teachers that are known around the world…they are not certified.
