Hunyuan Taichi Baton (混元太极棒)

What is [Hunyuan Taichi Baton] all about?

Hun Yuan Tai Chi Baton is a new introductory course designed to initiate the members of the third age into the mainstream Hun Yuan Tai Chi training. The Hun Yuan Baton course addresses the most common issues faced by first time attempters of Tai Chi.

Some of the key problems faced by first timers being weak psychomotor coordination, difficulties in remembering complex steps in mainstream Tai Chi classes, difficulties in keeping up with the movements due weak muscles owing to the lack of constant exercise and so on. According to our surveys, these problems are coincidentally the main reasons why many first timers give up Tai chi practices too early to fully reap the benefits of the exercise.

Over fifteen years in coaching, Ms May Tan had been actively seeking new ways to shorten the learning curve and help students overcome the abovementioned problems so that more can persist in this sport. She designed the simplified 12 steps Taichi system which showed great success through the higher retention rate of students after comparing with the figures before the introduction of the new system.

The new Hunyuan Tai Chi Baton system has shown much potential through our various internal trials with first time students. It has shown to be an enhancement and complement to our 12 step system introduction system. Not only did the student retention rate increase after the implementation. The usual 6 months to 9 months duration period needed to get a student used to Tai Chi training is shorten to around 3 months to 6 months.

With these findings, we intend to introduce this course with focus on the members of the third age. The 10 sessions course will cover all the grounds needed for the beginners to equip themselves with the psychomotor coordination, muscular strength as well as Hun Yuan Tai Chi knowledge so that they can smoothly transit into our main stream Tai Chi course.
