School Etiquette Peaceful Wolf Students: These guidelines apply to our classes; but you will  find they are particularly valuable when you study with other teachers or visit other schools   Mr. Shaver believes that beginners should be started separately from other students so that they can have the complete focus of the teacher in order for them to receive a good grounding in T'ai Chi Ch'uan basics and philosophy. The forty-eight posture Yang style form is taught as well as beginning Qigong and Chansijin, the traditional forms of energy training that are part of T'ai Chi Ch'uan training.   T'AI CHI BASICS AND PRINCIPLES 1 Starting Day Time Location Sep 20, 2010 Mondays  7:30 to 9:00 PM East Haddam Sep 23 , 2010 Thursdays Day 10:45 AM to 12:15 PM East Haddam Most classes are 12 week sessions (unless otherwise noted) $180.00 per session. (You may attend the first class of a Basics and Principles 1 session, without commitment, in order to feel confident that you wish to continue to study T'ai Chi Ch'uan) CONTINUING CLASSES   Students at different levels focuses on completing the learning of the forty-eight posture Yang form begun in the T'ai Chi Basics 1class. This takes about a year.  Through the continuing use of Qigong and Chansijin the student begins to learn to feel and understand the movement of qi in the body.

Private Lessons Periodic private lessons are essential in the study of T'ai Chi Ch'uan (Taijiquan). In a private lesson, a teacher offers personal attention and encouragement - helping you to set goals and get the most out of your practice. The fee for a private lesson is $70. Groups pay proportionately less per person: two pay $40 each; three pay $30 each. Private lessons for more than three are not recommended since the teacher's attention will be too divided to be maximally effective.
