Find a knowledgeable teacher that is right for you. There are no degrees or credentials for teaching tai chi, and the key factor is the compatibility of your learning style with their teaching style. While there may be helpful study guides, it is simply impossible to learn from a book or video. A DVD cannot correct your form, and everyone needs correction as a beginner. Factors in choosing a teacher include:
# There is no universal (or even widely-used) accreditation system for tai chi teachers. This often makes it difficult for a beginner to judge the veracity of a particular teacher`s tai chi. A teacher without the ability answer prolific questions and make individualized adjustments to your form is not acceptable, otherwise trust your gut. If you`re a newcomer to tai chi, it is completely acceptable to learn from another advanced student. One important factor to consider is if you have any medical conditions which require special attention, such as arthritis or multiple sclerosis. If so, it is essential you choose a teacher which has experience making accommodations for your condition.

Pay only what you can afford. A fancy studio and a free uniform doesn`t mean squat if you aren`t learning anything. Most traditional classes are held outdoors and are informal when compared to say, your local taekwondo school.

Picking a teacher who is an hour drive away is the fastest way to getting tai chi relegated to your New Year`s resolution list year after year.

Pick a style of instruction. No matter if they are a soccer mom from the burbs` or an old Chinese man with a white beard, pick a style of instruction that works for you. It doesn`t matter how knowledgeable they are, if you can`t understand them you won`t get any of that experience to show in your practice. Be sure to pick a teacher who has the same goals you do (in terms of health, self-defense etc.)

Visit the class yourself before signing up. Teachers that refuse to allow a trial class are hiding something. Anyone who calls themselves, or insists you call them grandmaster or any equally overblown term is not worth pursuing.

Choose a style. There are hundreds of tai chi styles. The five most popular styles, which originate from family lineages, are the Chen, Yang, Wu, Sun and Wu-Hao and Fa styles (in that order). Yang style is the most popular, especially when focusing on health issues. Chen style, with its lower stances and focus on martial development, Fa Style has many martial and health benifits how ever Chen is best as a self-defense art. No matter the style, stick with it, and remember that despite visual differences all tai chi styles share the same basic underlying philosophy.

Practice. Reading the cool tai chi magazines is fun, but the primary way to improve your tai chi is to practice. Anecdotes about one tai chi master, the famous Chen Fake, say he practiced his style`s form 30+ times a day. While you certainly don`t need to go to this extreme, practicing once a day is preferable. Twice a week is about the minimum amount of practice in order to learn most effectively, and feel a tangible benefit. When practicing, focus on what you remember. Don`t beat yourself up about not remembering, but rather improve what you can work on. Even if you only remember one posture, standing and holding that posture is good for you.

Expand your repetoire. Cross-training in other forms and styles, after you`ve achieved a basic level of mastery in your first form, is often very helpful at improving your general tai chi knowledge. The iconic practice of tai chi are the "hand" forms; the slow movements performed in a group or solo. But tai chi includes a vast array of forms which can improve your health and self-defense abilities. Most teachers only go on to such forms after a demonstrable proficiency in the basic hand form of the style.
#

Learn about weapons forms. Almost all styles, including those which disregard all martial intent, have tai chi forms practiced with weapons. These can range from simple staves or swords to esoteric Chinese weapons.
#
11
Try a faster form. Ironically, and in opposition to the public`s general idea of tai chi, most traditional family styles (including Yang, Chen,Fa and Wu) have a "fast form." This form is often used as a way of expressing the martial power honed and stored in slow form practice. Sometimes called "Cannon Fist" (pao chui) in Chen style.

Learn about partner work. If forms practice is tai chi`s solo workout, "pushing hands" (tui shou) is its partner exercise. Though eventually it can lead into free sparring, push hands is essentially an exercise meant to develop the sensitivity and skill of tai chi in a cooperative way. Generally, the learning of push hands builds steadily; moving from fixed-stance patterns with a single hand, and ending in a moving step pattern with both hands sometimes varying in height and spe
