 This course is specially designed to give beginners a good, basic understanding and insight into the ancient Chinese art of Tai Chi Chuan - Strong Body, Still Mind.

The Beginners Foundation Course will focus on the following areas:

  •  Basic Taoist Meditation
    • Yeung Sang Hey Kung Set One
    • The aim is to “still” the mind and sink the Chi to the Tan Tien (or also known as the field of Chi) point
  • General Relaxation Core Exercises
    • To loosen joints and stretch muscles so as to move the Chi and awaken the fascia, ligaments and internal organs
  • Basic Tai Chi Chuan Form
    • To circulate Chi through various postures in a continuous flowing movement.
    • The form is often referred to in the West as “Moving Meditation”
  • Applied Tai Chi
    • Testing of Tai Chi postures to ensure they are strong, stable and powerful with the application of Chi
  • Breathing Exercises


Students should try to attend the same Monday class each week over a period of 6 weeks. However, if you miss a lesson, you can do a catch up session during the 6 weeks at any other beginner class at either of the full-time John Ding Academies.

At the end of this course, students must join as JDA members to continue their training.

In order to ensure more personal supervision from the instructor, only a limited number of students are allowed on each course. To ensure your place on the course, you will need to book in advance and pay the course fee in full.


No special clothing is necessary - any loose fitting/comfortable wear is suitable. However, students are encouraged to wear the Academy’s uniform.
