Tai Chi 4 Kidz Instructor Training
What is Tai Chi for Kidz?
Dr Paul Lam, a family physician in Sydney, Australia, is a world leader in the field of Tai Chi for health improvement. Cheryl Lee Player, a dance and tai chi teacher, has enjoyed teaching children tai chi for many years. They have combined their experience and love for children to create this program to bring balance and harmony for children.
Tai Chi has an almost magical effect in health improvement. Kids love to learn and they learn very fast especially when engaged in a fun activity.
This specially designed tai chi program emphasizes the fun element while developing mind and body. It is designed in several small building blocks to capture children’s attention, incorporating imagery and games to add appeal.
We have found that kids really enjoy learning it. Teachers and parents have also found improvement in their children's sport and academic studies after doing tai chi.
Tai Chi has been found to improve your mental and physical health.
"The other aspect of Tai Chi is the intrinsic reward children get from seeing themselves progress and develop, and it is with themselves rather than in competition with other children."
Professor Shona Bass, Professor of Population Health, Deakin University, Australia
Team sports such as football and netball are wonderful but do not suit all children. Most children stop team sports once they leave school. Individual sports such as tai chi are more likely to continue for a life time. Starting tai chi could lead your child on a lifelong path to a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle.
