Data Sharing Methods

Face-to-face meetings

Data Summary100% of the students successfully performed the Sun Style Tai Chi Qigong

82% of students successfully performed the 6 Style Sun Tai Chi Chuan Form

100% of the students successfully performed the Yang Style Tai Chi Stationary Qigong

66% of students successfully performed the Yang Style Tai Chi Coiling Qigong

80% of the students successfully performed the Chen Style Tai Chi Bang
Analysis SummaryThe criteria was that 80% of students would meet 80% of the measurements successfully
Next Steps PlannedImplement shorter sequences so students leave class having learned a complete sequence and have something complete to practice

Will introduce Eight Brocades to replace the Yang Style Coiling Qigong as this set of movements is more difficult for everyone to do. Eight Brocades will do many of the same things to strengthen and stretch the body.

Instructor will also adopt the American Arthritis Foundation materials for this class.
Learning OutcomesDescribe each exercise movement

Perform each of the Tai Chi movements
