This shortened clinic will allow people with
limited time to train and, for those in the Certification program to qualify
for Certification - in JUST TWO DAYS. My attention will be given more so to first time and less
experienced students, teaching the vital basics needed to create a higher
level of practice thereby dramatically increasing benefits. Perfect for
those with limited time, perfect for all past Symposium students who need a
refresher.

Tai Chi for Busy
People (the Infinite Nine) and the ever popular
4 Minute Fitness.

on One Training.
Early Bird Pricing - $399

Goal - focus on more Advanced students who will enjoy more
personalized training at a deeper level, as well as more time studying
Easy Tai Chi CORE, FLOW and STICK (see descriptions below).
More advanced students - these two days are yours.
Beginning students may attend and find great benefits, but I want to work
with you at
a deeper level on postures, principles, CORE, FLOW and STICK. I've been
itching to do this for a long time... Instructors wishing to reach higher
levels of Certification must attend these days.
All 4 Days
- all the bells and whistles.
Early Bird Price - $499
Any student - no matter what skill level -
is encouraged to stay for the
full 4 days.
For people with less experience, Day 3 and 4 will
be a terrific introduction to more advanced principles and to
Easy Tai Chi CORE, FLOW and STICK (see descriptions below). You will learn lots!
And more advanced students will always learn from a
review of the basic principles taught on Day 1 and 2. Plus - they will get a
chance to teach students of all levels - great practice for the "real
world".

PHILOSOPHY
We are taking a brand new approach to these
seminars, an approach that will be even more effective than our past wildly
successful Symposiums. We want you to leave confident in your abilities and
rarin' to go! Therefore, this weekend is very much hands on, very
interactive with many opportunities to teach and to practice.
1. Creating CONFIDENT practitioners - making
your practice spectacular!
These Clinics are perfect for anyone who has
learned the Easy Tai Chi (Infinite Nine) form from the DVD. As
always, our main goal is to improve your technique. Better technique
ALWAYS creates improved benefits. And all students will be surrounded by
passionate, caring and skilled teachers.
2. Creating CONFIDENT teachers - One on one
instruction and teaching practice
First and foremost - we will have a chance to
practice and perfect the teaching scripts in small, supportive groups. I
have come to realize that just because people have my DVD's and the
on-line manuals, and they can do the moves - there is no guarantee that
they can teach. These scripts will create a massive jump in your
personal skills, and in your ability to relay those skills to students.
So we will have fun with the scripts and you will leave with more
confidence than ever.
Of course, you will learn the basics, and
there will be lots of time for individual coaching.
PLUS
-
lots of FUN!
- We will host a Welcome gathering
(attendance optional)
- We will offer a Business Training
- And fun times in local eateries
Basic Easy
Tai Chi Forms (you must be somewhat
familiar with these)
4 Minute Fitness
The core of all of our movement. Learn
important advanced details that will dramatically increase your
understanding of all tai chi postures and principles. Oh yeah - and to
feel even better, too.
Tai Chi for Busy People
One of the most popular short forms
ever created. We'll add surprising, interesting and powerful techniques
to help you love it all over again!
Advanced Easy Tai
Chi Forms
Easy Tai Chi CORE
We will have
time to dramatically increase your understanding of this powerful form. It is advisable to be somewhat
familiar with Easy Tai Chi CORE should you wish to partake in this
session, so pull out your DVD and start playing
with these terrific moves.
Easy Tai Chi FLOW
Learn a brand new form - either a stand alone or
extension of the Infinite Nine and CORE. You will
love this new form - the moves are gorgeous. This
day will be dedicated to teaching these moves,
increasing skill level and working on maximizing
benefits.
While the focus is on FLOW, everything you
learn will increase your overall understanding and skill level.
Advanced registrants will receive web pages
that demonstrate this form - for pre-study and for practice after the
Symposium.
NEW Easy Tai Chi STICK
Weapons are extensions of the body and weapons
forms can be interesting and beautiful. STICK is graceful, athletic and
a joy to practice. I chose to use a 4 foot Jo staff because they are
effective, fun to handle and very inexpensive (a 4 foot 15/16" or 1"
dowel from Lowes - I will have a few extra if you are arriving by air)
Once you have learned the form, no worries
about remembering the postures as I will give you a video link you can
use for home study.

Comments from past sessions
"The program was informative,
inspirational and intoxicating... The in-depth teaching that takes place
cannot be obtained by reviewing the DVD. The atmosphere created by Keith,
advanced teachers and students opened up my capacity for self awareness; a
special gift I will always keep close to my heart."
"If you want to teach, come to the
training. It is invaluable. The one on one and small-group
experiences help to improve upon the skills you already have. There's
so much more than the DVD alone can offer. It is definitely worth the
price."
"After attending five Symposiums, I
received a lot of knowledge that I would otherwise missed. This
Symposium helped me achieve a better understanding of what I am teaching and
a new outlook towards tai chi."
"My knowledge of tai chi just doubled and made me even more excited about
teaching. I firmly believe that all those who want to teach and
perfect their tai chi should attend."
"Bruce and
I really thought about missing the Symposium in Greensboro. So glad we
didn't! We learned so much and I know that it will help my other martial
arts and life. The Symposium gave us so much more than we paid for. Dr. J -
keep up the great work!."
"It was a wonderful
Symposium! I would urge everyone to attend next year."
"Very worth the time and effort.
Life-changing. The possibilities are endless"
"The enthusiasm generated was so
contagious. I was able to learn more tai chi in this seminar than in
nine weeks of study."
"If you want to feel great
inside and out, attend Dr. Jeffery's program. Thank you!!!"
"Attending will enhance your performance
beyond any other tai chi training on the market today"
As a life long martial arts
professional, I must say this was the best seminar I have ever attended!"
"After years of martial arts and tai chi
seminars, this was the most helpful. The level of detail for each
movement was great. It was refreshing to cover the fundamentals in
such depth."
"I learned more in one weekend
about tai chi than in the last 10 years of practice."
