Something Of Value

Writing an article not only calls for knowing your subject, but making your subject known, and being immersed in it so that the reader has the opportunity to learn something of value. It is not hard to do, but it means that the writer must get across something of value, more than just information.

T’ai Chi Chih is often thought of as “physical activity” like gymnastics. It might cause a loss of weight and bring joy to the earnest practitioner. But the real truth lies in the circulation of Chi. T’ai Chi Chih has much broader effects than perhaps first realized.

The problem is, while it is spreading throughout the world, it suffers from not having enough teachers. We can build on this momentum. We are at the point where something can cause the fast growth of TCC. There have been teacher trainings in Italy, France, and Canada, but when the time comes, will TCC be ready with enough teachers? Yes, we want students to be TCC practitioners, and we also want them to teacher others.

All you have to remember are two things: that there is much more to TCC besides its physical benefits. The second part is that we need more teachers in more places. A good deal more is expected of TCC. There is no doubt.
