Welcome to this very special Tai Chi resource centre for great exercises, insightful articles, inspirational videos, books and extraordinary courses. ​My name is Paul Read (the teapotmonk). I hope to inspire you to take up Tai Chi and to keep you motivated on your Tai Chi Journey. ​

The 3 Step Tai Chi Plan

To that end, I have created a simple 3 Step plan:​ ​

• ​STEP 1: Read this simple Beginners Guide (or download the free 30 page PDF)
• STEP 2: Try out the 3 exercises in the Basics Section (below)
• STEP 3: Choose one of the beautiful Tai Chi courses in the learning section to begin your journey today. ​​

Of course, you don't need to follow this plan. It's just a suggestion. There are plenty of articles, videos, and directions here to aid you in walking your own path. Take your time. Listen. Enjoy the journey.

STEP 1: THE BEGINNERS GUIDE TO TAI CHI

Download Free PDF

Discover the teapotmonk's approach to learning Tai Chi based on play rather than study. In this free 35 page PDF you will find the top 10 questions all beginners ask about Tai Chi, including the different styles, different names, Qigong and energy practices, martial arts, meditation, weapons, Taoism and how best we can learn Tai Chi. 

If you have done Tai Chi before and found it staid, calcified, stagnant in energy and originality, then you weren't the only one. Discover another way of learning, a 21st century approach to the art with the teapotmonk: Read the Beginners Guide to Tai Chi here or download the free PDF containing extra articles & the basic 3 exercises, listed below, to practice at home.
