I am a Tai Chi practitioner who has been interested in Tai Chi for more than ten years. I am well aware of the situation of learning Tai Chi online. The Internet has eliminated geographical restrictions, which allows more people to access this ancient art. However, it is also critical to how to select high-quality content and how to build correct practice habits. These are all important to face. With the help of personal experience and teaching methods, various responses can be seen in the process of teaching Tai Chi For Health . I have summarized some efficient implementation methods and using the Internet to carry out online learning methods, so that the core of ability and knowledge can be grown and improved, highlighting some of the key points.
How to choose a Tai Chi class for beginners
For students with zero foundation, the best way to learn tai chi online is that the systematic nature of the course is more important than the aura of a famous teacher. A series of courses marked "Introduction" and "Basic" should be preferred, and emphasis should be placed on whether the teacher has differentiated demonstrations of weight shifting, breathing coordination and other details. A high-quality introductory course is like building blocks. First, practice core movements such as cloud hands and knee-clasping and walking, one by one, and then combine them into a complete routine. Do not imitate directly by following performance videos to prevent the development of wrong muscle memory.
What auxiliary tools are needed to learn Tai Chi online?
In addition to video courses, it is recommended to prepare two mirrors. A floor-standing mirror is used to compare the angle of the action. The video recording function of the mobile phone can record a third perspective. It is especially recommended to use the "slow playback" function to break down the teacher's movements. In it, you will find that the power of the hand-covered fist begins with the spiral kick of the heel. In terms of space, an area of 2 meters by 2 meters needs to be cleared to ensure that the arms are spread out without touching obstacles.
How to maintain continuous motivation for online learning
What is more important than the duration of a single session is to establish a fixed practice rhythm. Regular practice of twenty minutes five times a week is far better than a two-hour weekend rush. You can join the online Tai Chi community and upload practice videos every week to comment on each other. In the online check-in activities organized by me, the proportion of students who insist on recording videos still maintains their practice habits after three months is as high as 83%. This kind of visual progress is the best motivation.
How to judge whether the online learning effect is up to standard
Proficiency in routines should not be used as the sole criterion for testing learning effectiveness. Naturally achieving abdominal breathing during practice, feeling your center of gravity change smoothly while walking, and even reducing the pressure on your knees when going up and down stairs are the indications of proof that truly internalize the essence of Tai Chi. Try recording a practice video and compare it with the recording from three months ago. You will definitely feel astonished by the subtle changes.
