Private Tai Chi Lessons in Los Angeles

Note that Jim Borrelli gives private Tai Chi lessons, not group Tai Chi Classes in Los Angeles.

James Borrelli, Tai Chi practitioner and teacher certified by world renowned Tai Chi Chuan Master C.K. Chu, is available for instruction in the Yang Style Short Form. Mr. Borrelli has been practicing Tai Chi for over twenty years and has been teaching it for the last twelve. His method is private and one on one.

The seemingly effortless slow moving solo exercise known as the Tai Chi form is composed of sequences of dynamic postures which are actually fighting techniques: strikes and blocks. Deceptively simple, these movements are in fact intricate and demanding; and are executed through specific patterns of breath. The Yang Style Short Form contains approximately sixty-five of these linked moves and can take several months to learn properly.

The most effective course of study for the serious student first involves a short period wherein one learns a series of powerful stationary chi kung postures, known as Nei Kung. Through Nei Kung the student becomes familiar with the relationship between the breath, the flow of chi in the body and the basic body alignments utilized in the Tai Chi form itself.

At this most rudimentary level of breath and alignment Nei Kung represents the fundamentals, the abc?s, as it were, of what Tai Chi is truly about. It provides an immediate experience of chi as well as facilitating a safe starting point for the body to adapt to the complexity of the physical demands of the Tai Chi form. As a result, learning the form progresses much easier and with understanding. An added bonus is that one benefits from the energy, flexibility, and deep feelings of well being of both of these treasured classic disciplines from the very beginning.
