PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Tai Chi Fundamentals® Programs (Adapted and Original) are accessible and versatile programs for learning tai chi. Suitable for individuals with a wide range of abilities, they include instruction in three versions: Standing with Optional Side Support, Walker Support and Seated. All program elements can be modified to accommodate individual needs.

Program Elements:  All movements are taught in a motor development progression and have been modified for practice with optional side support, walker support and seated. All versions include:

  – Basic Moves: a series of exercises that trains the postural alignment, body mechanics, and energetic components of tai chi. Designed as building blocks for learning tai chi, they are taught in a simple-to-complex progression with discrete, measurable increments in difficulty and have applications as assessment and intervention tools.

  – Tai Chi Fundamentals Form: a flowing sequence of tai chi movements based in Yang Style tai chi.

  – Mind/Body Skills Training: integrated into both Basic Moves and TCF Form instruction. Fosters attention and focus; a calm, observant state of mind; awareness of posture and breathing; and physical relaxation. Characteristic of all traditional tai chi practice, Mind/Body Skills training helps foster the cultivation of healthy qi, or vital energy.

Development: Original TCF Program developed in 1996 by Tricia Yu, MA and Jill Johnson, MS, PT, targeting elements from traditional tai chi that enhance balance, coordination, strength, and endurance. TCF Adapted Program developed in 2014 by Tricia Yu, MA, based on the need for a program that includes modifications for standing with support and seated applications.
