How can I find a more authentic school for Tai Chi?
I dislike Americanized forms of Martial Arts (No offense and not all). How can I find a class in Tai Chi that's more authentic and follows actual rules of Tai Chi instead of just teaching it as just an exercise and treating more like a full martial arts that's built upon many different patterns?
Where do you live? Outside of traveling to find a proper instructor, you're going to have to search in your area. The yellow pages, internet searches, word of mouth and looking through local parks (it might help if there was a Chinatown in your area - this is where I found my instructor) are possible methods. Unfortunately at least 95% of all Tai Chi schools in the West are watered down and only teach the health aspects of Tai Chi - this is an important part but is not the full curriculum.
If you cannot find a properly trained instructor with a good lineage, then you may want to look into other arts that may have similar if not the same principles of Taijiquan. Often it is more important to find a good instructor than a specific style. Good luck.
