Hi Johnny, I studied Yang short form for healthTai Chi with Emily Smith in Edgerton for 1 1/2 years before she retired, 3 of my fellow students and I started a Tai Chi club here in Janesville using a Ben Lo, CD for the Yang Short form, we meet once a week for 2 hours, I had an experience this spring where I was asked to do a talk and demo at U Rock for Earthday, but then was declined because I am not “certified” as an instructor. I went to Burlington last year and checked out becoming an instructor, which is still a consideration but, the drive etc poses a problem in the long run, I work at a counseling clinic here and do some evenings at the same time of the classes there, saw your web page today, looks like you can teach towards a certification that would allow me to do the talks and demo’s I want to do in the future. will be in touch Garth
Hi Garth,
Certification in a simple Tai Chi for Health form can be obtained in an intensive weekend of training. Check out the Tai Chi for Health website for more information.
I had the honor and pleasure to train with Ben Lo for a few hours a couple years ago. He is a great teacher, and I’m sure the DVD is excellent, but you should definitely consider finding a teacher with whom you can train in person.
