Tai Chi and Qigong Foundations in Teaching
Information and Resources
Welcome to the Rising Moon Tai Chi (RMTC) course, Tai Chi and Qigong Foundations in Teaching. This course introduces Yang style Tai Chi, Qigong, and standing meditation.
You will have 12 months to complete the course. This provides a valuable opportunity to immerse yourself fully in the material. Take your time to work through the manual, gradually building your daily practice from 5 minutes up to 30 minutes.
If you are unable to complete the course within the 12-month period, you may apply for a 6-month extension to submit all remaining assessments. Approval of an extension is at the discretion of the course facilitator. A fee of $200 applies if the extension is granted. No further extensions will be available.
Please take some time to explore the pages under the Tai Chi and Qigong Foundations in Teaching Course banner. These include information on professional requirements such as work place health and safety, a Medical Waiver example, Incident Report Form and Participant Feedback Form.
The course manual will be your primary learning resource throughout your studies.
For additional practice, you are welcome to view the Trio’s Videos. These are not part of the formal course content but may offer further support for your practice.
Throughout the course, you are encouraged to explore, read, practice, attend classes, and observe as much Tai Chi and Qigong as possible. You will be required to maintain a logbook of your learning, progress, questions, and practice. Plan your daily practice, reflect on concepts you find challenging, and revisit them regularly. Click here for your logbook, which can be printed or downloaded. The course facilitator may ask to see your logbook at any time during the course.
When I was newly trained, I also kept a notebook of Tai Chi principles, postures, forms, and quotes from the Masters I studied with. Maintaining a personal record can become a valuable long-term reference.
The course manual also refers to videos on the RMTC YouTube channel. You can access the full collection here: Tai Chi and Qigong Foundations in Teaching.
The manual has 3 modules.
Module 1: Introducing Tai Chi and Qigong
Module 2: Health and Safety
Module 3: The Art of Teaching
At the completion of each module, you will be required to complete an online open-book assessment (links provided below). After completing Modules 1 and 3, you will also be required to submit video assessments. Please click here to view the criteria for Module 1 Practical Assessment and Module 3 Practical Assessment. These assessments related directly to the videos you submit.
Written Assessments
Below are the links to each of the three written assessments, which are to be completed at the end of each module.
