Tai Chi Certification
Clear’s Tai Chi is a results based accelerated learning program.
The mission of Clear’s Tai Chi is to fuel a revolution in Tai Chi Instruction based on the pursuit of function, not choreography, not philosophy. We want principles and methods that produce results not just more techniques and sets.
We believe that where you train is less important than how you train and whom you train with is more important than how many sets you know.
We believe that Tai Chi should not take a lifetime to master and that with hard work and quality instruction anyone can develop skill quickly.
From the beginning, the Clears Tai Chi movement has provided an alternative to the prevailing Tai Chi establishment and its signature “follow the leader,” forms based, cookie cutter approach to Tai Chi Training.
We promote a 1 on 1 “hands on” method of instruction in large part because the only way to continue to advance as an instructor is to continually work with your students. Hands on. 1 on 1.
Our instructors constitute a confederation of legitimate Tai Chi practitioners united around a pursuit of the highest levels of internal skill and dedicated to sharing their knowledge and training the Tai Chi masters of tomorrow.
Clear’s Tai Chi Certification is divided into 4 levels.
Level 1 – Basic Skills Instructor
A Clear’s Tai Chi Instructor must know the “Big 8 Move Set,” the 13 move set and be proficient with all of the Clear’s Tai Chi Basic Skills.
Level 1 can be studied live at any Clear’s Tai Chi School or by video with the Basic Skills video set.
Level 1 usually takes students about 3-4 months to complete in the classroom. If you are studying by video or you have previous experience with Tai Chi then this time frame may be shortened considerably.
Testing for level 1 can be done live at our National Headquarters in downtown Maryville, TN. or by video correction and feedback.
