How long does it take to learn the Tai Chi form?
The time it takes to learn the solo form of Tai Chi is between 18 and 36 months. It is similar to learning a language or playing an instrument: Do you want to be able to say hello or listen to the news? Do you want to play a simple tune on the piano or a Beethoven concerto? Anyone who has developed a degree of mastery in a physical art (whether it’s hitting a baseball, yoga, or Tai Chi) knows that the deeper you go, the more time it takes to actualize change. (Remember when Tiger went through a major swing change with Butch Harmon? It took 18 months.) Real change and mastery take time. The results are worth it.
