Time served

The journeyman phase of practice and study will involve a further 20,000 hours of practice.
The equivalent of another 14 years full-time study.

Most Instructors stay at this level because the logistics of work, family and making a living make it very hard to commit the necessary amount of time to tai chi.
Reasonably, an exponent must start young if they wish to truly Master tai chi.

Master Waller overcame this obstacle by quitting his day job and studying full-time for 10 years, practicing tai chi and bagua for countless hours, reading, reflecting, writing about tai chi and teaching classes throughout the week.
