T'AI CHI & QIGONG (Chi Kung) IN ZIMBABWE
T'ai Chi Ch'uan is not just one subject, there are a variety of approaches, so anyone thinking of taking up the practice of T'ai Chi Ch'uan would do well to watch a class first, consider how the subject is explained and what the general atmosphere is surrounding the class. To aquire a long Yang Form you are going to have to attend classes for 2 - 3 years, so it is important that you feel at ease with the teacher, the classes and the other students.
