Purpose and Aims
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Our main purpose in holding classes is to make our own practice better. By instructing others we learn more ourselves. This is called "emptying the cup". By making Tai Chi Chuan available to more folks in and around the Aberdeen area, we hope to have a greater pool of practitioners working towards improving their knowledge and practice of the Art.
The instructors have seen how their own health has benefited from their practice of Tai Chi and they are keen to share this with others.
Five Winds (Aberdeen) aims to provide low cost classes with high quality instruction. To this end the instructors will give their time free for the main class.
Banks o' Dee Sports Centre is a non profit making organisation which is in accord with the requirements of this class. Any surplus raised from the attendance fee will be used to encourage Tai Chi awareness for all groups in the Aberdeen area and to raise the standard of practice overall.
