We have our own certification process internally.

For a person to be well qualified in Tai Chi Chuan is not enough to enable them to safely and effectively run a program in alternative medicine. The instructor has to be able to adapt the exercise routines to the physical level of each patient and their specific needs and circumstances.

Our instructors handling these programs have a minimum of ten years teaching experience, with many of those years spent as assistants of our senior instructor in health care related classes learning the skills required on site.

As interest in the art form grows many people are coming forth to offer Tai Chi Chuan instruction. It is therefore absolutely essential for health care professionals to carefully investigate the individuals background knowledge before accepting their services.

All new modalities experience this same process when they are first introduced into the mainstream. "Fad" teachers are of course to be avoided.

We take pride in what we do and have been on the cutting edge of the effort to integrate Tai Chi Chuan into alternative medicine since our Institute opened in the US in 1987.

As an example of our efforts to help western medical professionals understand the strengths and potential of the art we have for many years run programs through Wayne State University instructing fourth year medical students on Tai Chi Chuan as an alternative therapy.
