There is a great demand for QiGong and Tai Chi teachers. Our Teachers' Course is designed for those who are passionate about Tai Chi Chuan and QiGong – people dedicated to the mind/body nexus.
Whether you are a health professional looking to use Qi Gong and Tai Chi as an adjunct to your existing practice, or you are starting fresh, perhaps looking for a career change, Angela Tian Zhu can provide all the training you need. No previous experience is required.
Our Teacher's Courses are accredited and recognised by the Australian Government Kung Fu Wu Shu Federation Inc. After successfully completing the course students will be issued with a Certificate in Instruction in Tai Chi Chuan and Qi Gong which is recognised nationally and entitles membership of the Federation.
Courses consist of four terms, each credited with an intermediate certificate. Instruction is for two hours every Thursday evening and three hours every Saturday – totalling 160 hours for all four plus retreat attendance. They cover: meditation, breathing, posture, movements, health theory, physiology, attitude, instruction methods, TCM theories and regulations.
You can complete the four certificates in a single year or space them out over a longer period.

Testimonial
Being a “Tai Chi virgin” as Angela affectionately calls it, didn't stop me from persisting in a class with others who clearly knew what they were doing! Angela's supportive teaching style gave me confidence to keep going and ultimately lose 4kgs in just a couple months. That was just a bonus because my real driver was to increase energy and strength which it certainly did. Thanks to Angela's pearls of wisdom, which she willingly imparts, I've gained a better understanding of how my body works. The best thing of all though is that I feel much calmer overall so this virgin is now an addict!
As a mother of two young children with a full time job in advertising, this time last year I found myself doing things for everyone else instead of myself. Stressed out from being pulled in too many directions, I was aware I needed to learn relaxation techniques and ways to improve my overall health. I also wasn't confident that I would be able to keep pace with my chosen career in another decade.
Angela's teaching course appealed to me for all of those reasons, and even though I was a “tai chi virgin” as Angela affectionately calls me, I know it was the right choice for me. By the end I had the knowledge, skills and confidence to teach others how to improve their wellbeing too, which is an amazingly rewarding job – unlike anything I have ever experienced. To find something that you are passionate about, and then share it with others for their benefit is truly joyous and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. - Lisa McGee, Teachers Course Student, Sydney
