TAIJI QIGONGINSTRUCTOR’S COURSEThis has been the only <strong>Qigong</strong> course to which I have attended in whichthe stress level increased as the course progressed rather than decreased.Friday began with a lovely dinnerlaid outwith shining cutlery andsparkling chinathat ended in groans after threegenerous courses which concluded in a fartoo tempting array of delicious puddings.There were worried looks at our leaderMichael <strong>Tse</strong> hoping that there was not goingto be any strenuous training on full stomachs.There were relieved sighs when the coursefinally began and notebooks were producedfor notetaking during his lecture. Some wereeven making detailed annotations in themargins of their study copy of Michael <strong>Tse</strong>’sbook, <strong>Qigong</strong> for Health and Vitality.S a t u r d a ymorning sawmany earlybirds out practicing inthe gardens, making thestaff wonder what theywere doing although itwas said, “it was quitepleasurable seeing all thedifferentexercises goingon.” Luckily, theweather was fine formost of the course soeven those delegateswho had come from asfar as Texas and NewYork to see the famedManchester rain weredisappointed. Of all thenearly 40 would behopefuls attending,everyone who was tested on the coursemanaged to pass. This involved doing theTaiji <strong>Qigong</strong> exercises chosen, being able toname three benefits of each, and thenanswering six practical questions relating tothings that had been discussed in the courseand that were in Michael <strong>Tse</strong>’s book. Someof the newly qualified instructor’s were thenchosen to help form a panel to ask questionsof their peers as they were tested. Highmarks must be given to Ian Woollards whowas the last person tested. Having sat throughnearly three hours of watching his peers betested, he was calm as he faced the inquistionand peeled off the answers to questions as ifhe had been a <strong>Qigong</strong> instructor for years.Everyone did very well and studiedextraordinarily hard. We have already hadfeed back from a student of Gill Hughes whosaid that she was enthusiastic upon herreturn, as she talked to her students aboutloyalty and discipline.This is the first course for Taiji<strong>Qigong</strong> Instructors that the <strong>Tse</strong> <strong>Qigong</strong><strong>Centre</strong> has offered but judging from itssuccess and the good feeling of family that itcreated, we know that it is the first of many.Michael <strong>Tse</strong> said, “It is the right time for the<strong>Centre</strong> to grow and let the skill spread out,so that more people can benefit.” Thesecourses will help new instructors train sothat people in other areas can have theopportunity of studying good <strong>Qigong</strong> skill.All authorised Taiji <strong>Qigong</strong> and Wild Gooseinstructors have beenissued with a <strong>Tse</strong> <strong>Qigong</strong><strong>Centre</strong> Instructor’sCertificate which showsthat they have been testedon the skills they areteaching and that theyhave been shown to haveproper understanding andproficiency of these skillsfor teaching.Anyone interestedin finding moreinformation about futurecourses (the next is oneplanned for 6th to the 8thof November 1998 -Balancing Gong) orinstructors can call the<strong>Centre</strong> for information.To let you know how some of the instructorsfelt about the course, here are some quotesfrom their corraspondence to us below:“Thank you so much for awonderful weekend. I learned such a lot– about my courage…I really feel I knowsuch a lot more, feel more rounded andsure of myself.”“I appreciate the deeperunderstanding of the movements and youremphasis on the attitude for practise. It wasalso a treat to relax and get to know otherswho practise <strong>Qigong</strong> in other parts of theworld and it was uplifting to practise<strong>Qigong</strong> in beautiful surroundings.”“Everyone was so helpfuland supportive of each other – a wonderfulexperience.
