Practicing once a week will have you chasing your tail for years. Regular practice is the only way. There is a saying which applies to Qi Gong practice as well as Tai Chi — "If you do it, you get it; if you don’t do it, you don’t get it". Another wise man also said "the highest things are often the simplest and the simplest things are often the most difficult". Try to get inside Tai Chi by yourself with daily practice.

Repeating Classes

After finishing level four, students often wonder what to do next to improve their training. Advanced classes are an excellent way to gain extra practise and correct problem areas. There are several advanced classes available in term 1, please see the program above for details. For people who missed Fast Form or Sword the first time around, this class held at Sutherland on Tuesday nights will give you a chance to learn the forms from the beginning, with half the class dedicated to Sword and the other to Fast form. Also a great opportunity for students who have completed level 4 to refresh their knowledge in both forms.

Qi is the chinese word for energy and gong means to master something or the methods used to master an art requiring time and skill. Qi Gong divided into 3 main schools, sports, medicine and for spiritual practise. Learning internal martial arts such as Tai Chi remains a gentle physical exercise without understanding of Qi. Classes on Qi Gong by the Australian College Of Tai Chi and Qi Gong focus on teaching Qi Gong theory and history as well as practical methods for feeling and controlling Qi with view to improved health and a long life. The beginners course is suitable for all levels of students and will provide enough basic skills to gain direct benefits, such as relaxation and stress reduction, immediately. To register please contact Sam Li on 9525 8886.

Many people are learning that the study of Qi can be very beneficial and I feel certain that in the next twenty years Qi Gong will become one of the hottest fields of research.” —Dr Yang Jwing-Ming — The Roots of Chinese Qigong
