BEGINNERS
If you are new to Tai Chi, Tai Chi for Arthritis is an excellent introduction.
If you have some tai chi experience, or you are comfortable learning movement, 24 Forms is more challenging and takes three terms to learn.
Tai Chi for Arthritis
Tai Chi for Arthritis is based on Sun style tai chi which is characterised by light and lively stepping and a higher stance making it a particularly good style for those with joint problems.
