TCC Teaching

As T’ai Chi Chih teachers we give without reservation to those attracted, and ideally remain available as a support person. Doing this, our task is complete. This is the constructive way to serve. It would be contrary to the spirit of T’ai Chi Chih to in any way encourage a dependency relationship with students.

One of Justin’s early students upon successful completion of his teacher training course exclaimed, “Well, I don’t need you anymore!” Justin then confirmed, “His is the right attitude.” He was willing to be self-disciplined and conscientious in his continuing involvement with T’ai Chi Chih.

The freer we are in ourselves, the more we can help free others. Well integrated, sensitive teachers are agents assisting students in the realization and unfoldment of their fullest potentials. There is nothing of self-interest in their sharing.
