How to Spot a Tai Chi Instructor
You probably will recognise a tai chi instructor instantly as they will be the most relaxed person in the room but in case you don't here's a short guide.
- They find it hard to resist adjusting your posture
- They pronounce the Chinese words correctly (but no-one else understands what they are saying)
- They'll be wearing loose black trousers and a black or white t-shirt (silk pyjamas for special occasions)
In a meeting -
- its the one who's meditating
- the one who tests your rooting whilst shaking your hand
- the one wearing shoes with very thin soles or with the word Feiyue emblazoned across them.
- practising tai chi moves in public oblivious to the strange looks others are giving them.
- standing with their kees unlocked instantly ready to move (slowly).
- the one standing without holding on in order to improve their balance.
