| “I credit Tai Chi with the fact that I’m able to walk” -Russell, A long time member of our Qigong and Tai Chi community. |
There are three treasure which you should hold and keep:
The first is mercy, for from mercy come courage
The second is frugality from which comes generosity
The third is humility for from it comes leadership
-Shaolin
Instructor Training:
Northwest Internal Arts offers in-depth training in the arts of Tai Chi Chuan, Qigong, Hsing-I and Bagua. Instructors in the NWIA organization are trained to an expert level in the theory and performance of the various forms. What sets apart the instructors certified by the NWIA organization is the depth of their training. The form is important, but just as vital is training in the philosophy, theory, health and martial applications, and in the art of teaching itself. They are so very many paths within the practice of Tai Chi & Qigong that we encourage anyone interested in starting or advancing a teaching practice to contact us directly. We will discuss the ideal path toward meeting your goals as an instructor.
