How long does it take to learn tai chi?
Most people attending class once a week can learn the 8 Step in 6 to 8 weeks; the Bejing Short Form in 3 to 4 months; and the 108 Posture Form in 10 to 12 months. The more you practice, the quicker you will learn.
How long does it take to make black belt?
Belts are not normally used in tai chi. Students can test for color sashes in the kung fu programs. Ranking is not a major part of our program. The focus is not making rank but learning the material. A student can test for blackbelt once they demonstrate knowledge of the history of the styles, all techniques and forms. This can be done with a minimum of 350 hours of instruction.
Are discounts or free training available?
Every attempt is made to keep the cost as low as possible. Since 1999, TCMA has only raised the cost of training three times. We do not require testings, workshops, tournaments or special uniforms. The going national rate for training, twice a week, is $150.00 to $200.00 a month. Programs like the Recreation Center charges from $0.00 to $100.00 a month. You may request current pricing through the contact us page or check the current Recreation Center Action Guide
