The Benefits of Membership

You can attend TCF online classes either free or at special member-only rates 

  • ‘Time in the Art’ is a series of programs presented by Senior Teachers on the topics of principles & excellences.  Each event runs on the 3rd Monday of the month and typically costs $20/program.  With membership, you can attend these events for free and access our library of over 75 recorded programs.  This is a savings of at least $200/year.
  • We offer a reduced member rate for TCF programs such as the Seasonal Workshops, which are also available as a recording after the program runs.
  • Receive a 5% discount on all purchases in the Teachable course library of tai chi basics, 8-Ways of Tai Chi Chuan, and more

 

You have access to members-only content 

  • You will get access to additional pages on our website, exclusive to members, and can receive members-only blog posts, advance notice of upcoming events, and more.

 

You directly support TCF’s mission to disseminate Tai Chi more widely

  • Your contributions help TCF to fund the development and delivery of new trainings, and to support TCF affiliated schools making Tai Chi teaching more widely available worldwide.

How to Become a Member

TCF also reduces the renewal fee to $60 for a small number of ‘Limited Income’ Apprentices (Teachers) who have applied for financial support and had this approved by the TCF Board.
