Tai Chi Certification: On becoming an Accredited Instructor

Eleven years ago I started my Tai Ji Quan journey. After seeing an advertisement for the Golden Lion Academy at a satellite school I thought I would give it a go. I arrived at class a little apprehensive but excited to start something new. I was made to feel very welcome by Si Hing Albert and Si Jie Denise and under the guise of “just come and have a look and see what you think,” I was easily encouraged to get on the floor myself. Well – as they say – the rest is history. I was hooked and have never looked back.

There are many reasons why I became hooked. I realised once I started TC that I had not truly understood the term ‘relax’. After being shown how to relax and breathe the TC way I knew I had to find out more. Even in my day-to-day life my TC skills help me. When I feel stressed, taking the time to do some TC breathing always helps me calm down. I have gained strength and flexibility, which I would not have if I had not taken up TC. I have also gained many friendships and met so many lovely people.

During my Tai Chi journey I have completed my fifth grade and at the end of 2008 I became an officially accredited TC instructor. The challenges don’t stop there – this year it is time to tackle level 1 Black Belt. I’d like to thank everyone who assisted me through this journey. Your encouragement and guidance is much appreciated.
