What does your school offer?

Our school offers:
  1. Lineage

    - your instructor's knowledge can be traced through generations of teachers, right back to the founder

  2. An experienced instructor
    - Master Waller trained with Peter Southwood for 20 years
    - he has been teaching tai chi since 1995
    - he has been training martial arts since 1975

  3. A qualified instructor
    - Master Waller holds a post-graduate certificate of education
    - he is registered with The Tai Chi Union for Great Britain
    - he taught under Peter Southwood's close guidance and supervision for several years


  4. A fully-differentiated syllabus
    - a syllabus offers an incremental learning program that will enable all students to become skilled at tai chi
    - the layers and levels of the syllabus are interlocking and interconnected
    - there is an ongoing accumulation of both knowledge and skill

  5. Assessment
    - regular, consistent, thorough assessment is essential to ensure quality and understanding
    - progress can be proven

  6. Grading
    - this ensures that all students study material appropriate to their own ability level
Yes, tai chi is commonly being taught in other classes without any of these factors, but what guarantee of quality do you have?
