Online Tai Chi Chuan Essence and Essentials, Mondays January 13th through March 3rd from 5:15pm to 6:15pm ET, up to 8 classes

These online classes will practice and discuss 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 includes experiential answers to questions, and in-depth practice of the alignment, connections, and flow of the Short Form.

These classes are only for those who are already familiar with the Grandmaster William C.C. Chen Short Form or other Yang-style Short Form.

This is a session of eight weekly classes. The fee is $24 per class for individual classes up to 3 classes; $22 per class for 4 to 7 classes; and $160 for all eight classes. Individual classes purchased can be applied to any of the eight classes in the session, but they do not roll over to subsequent sessions after the end of this 8-class session.

All online classes 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.
