Eric is fantastic! - Eric is a wonderful instructor! I knew nothing about Tai Chi other than it looks beautiful and relaxing. Eric taught me some of the basic concepts in Tai Chi and some of the basic moves in an introductory lesson. He made the lesson interesting and fun. I would highly recommend this lesson to anyone who is interested inTai Chi, beginner or expert. 10/10.

Excellent Experience! - We booked this experience on our last day in Beijing. Yu, our instructor, met us at the East Gate of the Temple of Heaven as specified, though we were a few minutes late due to the morning traffic. We had a couple of extra people, and he was easily able to accommodate this and negotiated a fair rate for them to join the class. We went to an area where many community members were practicing Tai Chi, and there was plenty to room for our class. Yu led us through a sequence, then proceeded to break down the sequence and explain the history and rationale of Tai Chi as well as some aspects of Chinese Medicine. It was a truly awesome experience, and my only regret is that I do not live in Beijing so that I could continue to study with Yu. I would highly recommend this experience.

Eric was wonderful! He was very... - <p>Eric was wonderful! He was very patient with me despite my complete incompetence, lol. He provided the constant guidance that I was looking for and increased my interest in Tai Chi through demonstrations and by discussing the benefits of Tai Chi. I am definitely signing up for another class with him.</p>

We really enjoyed it! - I brought my cousin to get a Tai Chi class with Eric for her bachelorette party! It has been very nice and Eric is very kind and helpful and you can arrange your meeting in several places around Beijing. If you do it in the Temple of Heaven, you have to pay for the admission to the park, but it's cheap! Eric also sent us some link to useful video to continue to train our practice!

Felt like we were ripped off by a larger company - While reading many reviews, it seemed as though we would be learning from Eric. This was not the case. He walked into the park with us and introduced us to some ladies who were already doing Tai Chi. He then left. The ladies doing Tai Chi were very nice, accomodating, encouraging and willing to take time in teaching us however, it did seem like we paid for an introduction considering some other tourists (taking photos) who hadn't paid were encouraged to join in with the group. All that being said, we enjoyed ourselves and were looked after which warrants a 3 star review. I would not rate Eric.
