Taijiquan as Vocational Training

Concept of WCTAG

In vocational training, WCTAG pays particular attention to seriousness and quality. There is a reason for that. Our teachers grow up within our family to what they later represent. We are not a commercial training machine that trains the so-called Taiji teachers quickly and then leaves them on the street with some kind of diploma. Our teachers are supported by the association at all times and, in turn, contribute to the further expansion of the association. That they teach under our name guarantees that we give them quality. After all, who would like to have bad teachers in their own ranks?

We traditionally see ourselves as one big family. From an economic point of view as a family business. Everyone does his part to complete the whole. And everyone benefits from it. In this way, the association can arrange jobs, advertise its teachers and support their teaching in all forms. The teacher ensures that every student not only receives qualified lessons, but also establishes the link between student and master until he has risen to become a master himself. This ensures the best possible student support. All areas and parts of the association come together to form a whole. Though each instructor remains responsible for his or her work.

So the material taught is always the same, but the teaching mentality differs from teacher to teacher. The training takes place individually as part of weekly courses, seminars and / or private lessons. As long or so short until the quality of the next training level is achieved. Then, after consultation, the exam takes place. It represents both an examination, an agreement and additional training, the end of which represents a new phase in the trainee's career.

The training corresponds to the official regulations of the health insurance companies, legislators and the German "Umbrella Organization for Taijiquan & Qigong e.V. (DDQT)", whose guidelines we configured significantly involved.
