Learning T'ai Chi Ch'uan requires a committment of time and effort. In the Chinese Tradition of being in touch with nature while practicing T'ai Chi, our classes are held outside; rain or shine, heat or cold, unless there is major lightning or ice. Students may attend either or both of the Spicewood Springs Classes for one monthly fee. Tuition is $50.00 per month due at the first of the month, regardless of start date. I will prorate the first month only if a student begins classes in the middle of a month.

Out of respect for student's busy lives, I require no long term contracts; however, out of respect for the teacher and fellow classmates, regular attendence is encouraged. Therefore, there are no refunds for missed classes.

I do realize: however, that sometimes things come up within the month that interfere with class attendence, so if you know in advance that you will not be able to come to more than 3 classes for the month, the per session rate is $15.00 per class.

New students are welcome and encouraged to come try out any class one time for free.
