Amateur instructors

The world is saturated with well-meaning, inexperienced tai chi instructors.
These instructors are teaching an imbalanced syllabus and fail to offer the complete art.
The art is slowly being ruined, watered down to a point where there is nothing internal left.

Long-distance certification?

Across the years we have encountered many weird scams promoting fast-track tai chi instructor courses. I found one today where the student can pay $95 for basic instructor qualification. All you need to do is answer some questions and send video footage of yourself doing form. How outlandish is that?

I cannot honestly believe that anyone would be dumb enough, or desperate enough to fall for something like this...

I cringe for the future of tai chi.

Bad tai chi

Not all tai chi will help your body.
Some classes are very badly taught and will actively damage your body.
Be careful when choosing a tai chi class; there are many well-meaning amateurs teaching these days.
