Tai Chi Form Workshop

   On Sat. Nov. 14 the Bear River Tai Chi Chuan Society will offer a workshop on form corrections and details of the second two thirds of the CMC style short form.  The workshop will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 and from 2 to 4 p.m.  Optional push hands practice will be available after the workshop.
    Although the basics for health and movement are abundantly found in the form's first twelve postures and accompanying transitions there is a great beauty and expansion of Taiji's central principles that are manifest in the full form.  An old saying reminds us that "the Devil is in the details", but neglects to add that the grace, power, beauty, and functionality is also to be found in the details.  As Ben Lo says, "If you don't do it right it won't work."  This workshop is to focus on details but beginners new to the full form who know the first third are also welcome
    The workshop will be held at the Cache Valley Learning Center, 75 South 400 West, Logan.  Use the back door by the kitchen as the practice will be held in the cafeteria.

Regular Classes at Bear River Tai Chi

On-going Tai Chi Chuan classes are held at the Whittier Community Center (290 North and 400 East Logan, Utah) every Tuesday and Thursday.  In good weather we meet on the lawn.  Otherwise we are in the Whittier gymnasium. Visitors are welcome to observe.  Class times are::

New students may start their study of Tai Chi Chuan any time of the year and be placed under the instruction of a qualified mentor. There are some advantages to begin your studies with the first class in a quarter as the first third of the form is taught every three months.

Class tuition is $125/quarter for the beginning class or $145/quarter for all classes. Drop ins are $7.00/hour.
Private lessons are by arrangement and cost from $15 to $40/hour depending upon the instructor.

Please Note:
No one has been denied Tai Chi Chuan instruction at the Bear River Tai Chi Chuan Society due to an inability to pay for lessons. We all have rainy and sunny economic times. If you are sincere about learning this art but cannot afford full tuition please speak with senior instructor Kayo Robertson about alternative payment.

 

Workshops

Workshops are offered regularly, and open to all students who have a good beginning grasp of the first third of the Tai Chi Chuan form and can demonstrate to some degree its principles. Please see our calendar.
