Getting started can be as easy as picking up the phone to talk to the instructor, sending an email or turning up to a class. JDIATCC classes are designed to be friendly and accessible and we don't expect any special experience, knowledge or levels of health or fitness. The basic idea is: if you can stand, you can do Tai Chi.

Most instructors would love you to join in for your first class, as Tai Chi can be as safe and comfortable as you want it to be. However most will be equally happy for you to stay and watch, asking questions when people are available and just seeing if it is for you. It must be said, though, that no amount of watching Tai Chi can convey the feeling of actually doing it. So for a thorough investigation into whether it suits you perhaps 3 or 4 lessons should be taken.
