The teaching method is a combination of both Western movement teaching pedagogy and traditional Chinese teaching methodology.
The human body learns movements (motor learning) in a particular way, and certain teaching methods are more effective than others in facilitating motor learning. Therefore, the WahLee T'ai Chi teaching method is grounded in sound motor learning pedagogy and kinesiology, to step students through the learning process and give them new information at the right pace, at the right time, and in the right amount.
After the beginners course, the teaching method tends towards a more traditional method which requires the student to learn quickly, be observant and ask questions.
