Online Tai Chi Chuan Essence and Essentials, Monday December 2nd from 7:15pm to 8:15pm ET
This online class, taking place from 7:15pm to 8:15pm ET, will discuss and practice the essential principles and specific forms and connections that make Tai Chi Chuan so valuable for mental and physical well-being, and as a sport and martial art.
This session is recommended for those with at least some exposure to Tai Chi Chuan, as well as for those who are already very familiar with a Yang-style Short Form, such as the Short Form of either Grandmaster William C.C. Chen or Professor Cheng Man-ch'ing. Those with an existing Tai Chi Chuan practice will understand the topic more completely, but the session is appropriate for all levels.
The fee is $15. Class will be conducted via Zoom.

Some testimonials, from in-person classes:
-
Master David Alexander’s workshops are an excellent opportunity to practice and improve Tai Chi skills and understanding. A senior student of Grandmaster William C. C. Chen, David’s workshops offer a welcoming, accepting environment for beginning, intermediate, and advanced Tai Chi practitioners to learn together.
~ Master Steven Asherman, Founder of Content Galaxy Tai Chi Chuan Channel
- I have attended the advanced form refinement class, push hands class, and applications classes. Even though I have been studying T'ai-Chi Chuan for over 40 years I always feel that I learn something new in each of the classes. David provides a calm and supportive environment that is quite conducive to learning. He is a keen observer and gives clear, positive feedback.
~ Sifu Bruce McCarter, Instructor of Tai Chi Chuan and Teacher of Buddhism -
I highly recommend the tai chi lessons and workshops with David. Not only has he mastered the forms and techniques, but is able to explain the underlying body mechanics.
This becomes more apparent when push hands and martial art applications are taught and practiced. He is able to teach at all levels, is very patient and provides a safe and very enjoyable learning experience.
~ Michael Stefanovich, Psychiatrist

David B. Alexander is an excellent and patient teacher who clearly interprets William CC Chen’s method of Tai Chi Chuan. The curriculum he teaches in his workshops is thorough and sincere. I highly recommend him. Your Taichi will improve whether you are a beginner or advanced student.
