Bruce Frantzis Energy Arts Tai Chi for Beginners & Tai Chi for Circling Hands Programs, tai chi has transformed my life and my health many times. It is one of the world’s greatest art forms and treasures. I believe it to be the uber-exercise on the planet and one that can help many people in the future.
I created these programs to be the easiest way to learn tai chi. More than just a follow-along video, I take you step-by-step to teach you the first eight moves of the Wu style tai chi short form.
We will focus on helping you learn what you need in order to develop a good foundation, both physically and energetically, so that you can get the most out of your practice.
I am a big believer in having ‘good starts’. Mastery in any field has to be built on a solid foundation. If you learn properly the first time, then you won’t have to unlearn bad habits later.
This program will help you deepen your “root” and develop strong tai chi fundamentals.
For the first time, I am offering Tai Chi Circling Hands®, a program I developed after learning hundreds of tai chi and qigong forms and teaching tens of thousands of students. I have found that this one program can help anyone learn tai chi. It teaches you how to break down tai chi movements into three primary circles.
I believe it is very useful, both as a stand-alone exercise and as a way to dramatically increase the speed with which you can learn and improve your tai chi.
As I have said before, tai chi has transformed my life and my health many times. It is one of the world’s greatest art forms and treasures. I believe it to be the uber-exercise on the planet and one that can help many people in the future.
May you have fun learning tai chi and may it benefit you greatly!
All the best,
Bruce Frantzis
