Coach Jan Lucanus teaches the Tai Chi Poem taught to children in China with his own variations.

You may or may not have heard of the Tai Chi Poem, which is taught to children in some parts of China. I came across versions of this very short form a few times over my training experience, and used to scoff at it when I was younger, viewing it as a tiny morsel when I sought the full meal. When a friend from China showed me the recitation that goes along with the form, I saw an opportunity to get my son more deeply involved in training at 4 years old, which as you can see here, worked.

In today’s Tai Chi to the People class (which you are all welcome to attend every Tuesday at 5pm PST on Zoom via this link — https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83070452155), I’m sharing 3 variations beyond recitation for the serious Tai Chi explorer, including my experiments with the primordial sound, AUM. Here is the main video of this week:

More Chi,

Coach Jan Lucanus
