October 25, 2011 4:59 pm Published by Leave your thoughts

Students in Tai Chi With Lu classes recently completed a survey to share their thoughts on learning Tai Chi and the benefits it brings. Those responding were a representative sample of beginner, intermediate, advanced and charter students.  Over half of the respondents had participated in outside activities such as public Tai Chi demonstrations and workshops in addition to attending regular weekly classes.

The top five reasons for choosing Tai Chi, in order of importance, are:       

  1. health and physical well being                                                                 
  2. peace and relaxation                                                                             
  3. balance                                                                                                 
  4. meditative spiritual practice                                                                   
  5. fun and joy

Things that students enjoy most about classes are:                             

  1. learning technique and fundamentals                                                  
  2. going deeper and being centered                                                        
  3. the group relationship and friendships                                                 
  4. balance of lecture, demonstration and practice

Things that students report that help their learning are:

  1. patient, positive, teaching
  2. repetition
