Tai Chi for Energy 2

What is Tai Chi for Energy 2?

Dr Lam has added new Chen style movements from the 36 and 56 Forms to enrich your Chen style experience with more sophistication.  He explores the mysterious spiral force (Chan Suu Jing) and has developed the synergy of both styles to deliver unbelievable power and vitality.

Dr Lam explains:  "One day Part 2 hit me like a bolt of lightning, as though the power could no longer be restrained. The more I practiced it the more powerful the synergy became, and I felt a significant improvement to my tai chi, especially Chen style”

Whether you have studied Chen style or not, both Tai Chi for Energy and Part 2 will be an enjoyable and rewarding experience in your tai chi journey. 

Tai Chi for Energy 2 is now a Board Certified program. Participants can be assured that their instructor has received safe and effective training to teach TCE2

Tai Chi for Health Program Updates

At this workshop qualified instructors will have an opportunity to update their existing qualifications.  Please discuss fees and assignments with your Master Trainer.

This is a 1-day instructor qualification training for TCE2 instructors.  Being certified as a TCE instructor is a pre-requisite for certification in TCE2.

You will also need to purchase and read a copy of the Teaching Tai Chi Effectively book.  This is available through www.TaiChiProductions.com (a discount code is available) or through Amazon.com.

During the workshop, we will review all of the movements, and participants are expected to be able to perform the sequence of movements from memory. So, follow along with Dr Lam on the video lessons and practice each section until you can perform the movements from memory before moving on to the next section.

To prepare, please practice with the video lessons on the DVD or the online lessons (www.onlinetaichilessons.com).  Your preparation helps ensure you become certified at the end of the training.  I make every effort to get everyone certified. Those who are not well prepared may require additional practice and an additional Zoom meeting to meet the standard for certification.  

This training will be held live on Zoom.  For a virtual workshop, it’s essential that you have a space where you can be seen from head to toe while being able to see your “monitor”.  The easiest way to do that is to connect your camera (webcam, phone, tablet, or laptop) to a larger TV screen. 

Following the training, those meeting the standard for Instructor Qualification will be invited to join the Tai Chi for Health Institute.  Your membership provides Board Certification to teach this form.
