Are you an expert in taoism, zen, the Tai Chi Classics, tai chi principles, human biomechanics, ergonomics, internal martial arts concerns, combat, how to teach taijiquan...?Probably not.
In all fairness, there is little a new student can contribute to the class in the form of knowledge, experience, insight and skill.
However, you can be friendly.
And you can also aim to practice what you have been taught.
This is your contribution to the class.

What is tai chi?
Tai chi is a popular form of exercise.
It is derived from a martial art called 'supreme ultimate fist' (taijiquan).
Most tai chi classes study tai chi for exercise but only a rare few practice tai chi as a martial art.

Combat
Having watched movies, YouTube, the news or read things... new students
often have certain notions concerning combat.
They want to know how to deal with multiple opponents, with knives, with this or that scenario.
This is to be expected.
In truth, most new starters have trouble standing or moving in a balanced manner.
Their bodily awareness is poor and their nervous system dysfunctional.
A lifetime of bad habits stand in the way of progress.
There are 3 beginners belts.
These focus on unlearning bad habits, using the body in a more healthy, effective way and becoming composed.
At this level of ability, combat is irrelevant.
There are more immediate matters to attend to.
Actual combat is reserved for intermediate-level students and beyond.
