I just want to say that I have some wonderful people in my Wednesday group. I feel more comfortable right now saying that I'm leading my group in participating in the Tai Chi 24 Form rather than instructing them. They have been so supportive and understanding as they are learning as I am learning to become certified. I make sure they know that I am in a training program and have a lot to learn myself, and they are willing to make allowances. This may be a bit disturbing to those who may think, "how can she lead when she may not know enough to lead," or "won't this confuse her group?" You're right, it could be an issue. I am very cognizant of that and that's why I say, I have a wonderful group. Maybe they hang with me because we have fun and I don't charge for our session, but I know enough to give them everything I do know, even if I don't know the form perfectly...yet. I love my group and thank them every session.

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to thank you all for your teaching moments as we move through this training. I'm learning on the remote track, but seeing you all during the recorded sessions has been super helpful. Although I haven't met any of you personally, I feel connected through the classes. Keep up the great work! And to Dr. Hoover, your lessons are engaging and informative and I hope to one day make the trek down to SoCal and take a class in person!

I just watched the form with Dr Hoover at the Pompeii ampitheater (sp). Wow! With the music playing in the background, it was especially inspiring. So intense. Thank you for adding the video and sharing with us. I've always wanted to visit Greece. Wouldn't it be great to see a gathering of your instructors and students performing the form during the next worldwide Tai Chi Day?

What is the criteria to go from one level to another?
