Start Your New Year With A New Beginner Class!

/ MG Perkins / Leave a comment

Welcome to Tai Chi Revolution! With a new year starting, we are offering a new Tai Chi beginner class. Tai Chi is based on ancient Chinese practices that are meant to help improve balance, promote a sense of inner calmness (through moving meditation), and in the process help to increase your overall flexibility and stability. Tai Chi is for everyone, and our experienced instructors welcome anyone who is interested in trying out Tai Chi or returning to a regular practice. We are a welcoming, friendly club and we look forward meeting you in the new year! Details for joining the new beginner class are below:

What will I learn? This six week class will get you started on your Tai Chi practice by teaching you the fundamental movements of Tai Chi.  You will learn the first 17 movements of the 108 movement set with qualified and knowledgeable instructors.  You found our website – now we’d really like to meet you in person!

When:  Friday afternoons beginning on Friday, January 23, 2026 and running through February 27, 2026 (6 weeks).

Time:  12:45 – 2:15 pm

Location: Tai Chi Revolution’s studio is located at 2817 James Street in Syracuse on the corner of James and North Edwards Avenue.  The studio entrance is on North Edwards (there’s a sign in the window so you can find us) with off-street parking in front of the studio and across the street.  There is also free street parking.

Cost: $60 (payable at the first class; cash or check (unfortunately we don’t take credit cards).

What to wear:  Comfortable and loose fitting clothing.  Shoes should be flat and enclose your entire foot with good support (something like sneakers or low hiking shoes).  Bare feet, crocs, flip flops or open toed sandals should not be worn.

MASKS ARE CURRENTLY NOT REQUIRED BUT… Our masking protocols are based on infection rates. Currently we do not require masks to be worn while in the studio. Having said that, we care about our students, members, and guests and are committed to protecting everyone’s health while in our class. If infection rates spike, we may reconsider the masking requirement. We appreciate your understanding.

We are excited to announce that Tai Chi Revolution now offers four classes a week to our members and new students! If you are a current member of Tai Chi Revolution, you can attend any or all of these classes at no additional costs as part of your current membership. We also would like to welcome back any of our previous students who may want to get back into a regular practice of Tai Chi. If you’ve taken classes with us before and would like to rejoin our club, you’ll find both old friends and new faces. Rejoining is as simple as coming to a class and paying the monthly membership fee of $50.00. If you are an absolute beginner, we offer new beginner classes on a regular basis (about every 4 months or so) so check back here for announcements of new classes! If you have any questions about joining a new beginner class or rejoining Tai Chi Revolution please feel free to e-mail us at TaiChiRevolutionCNY@gmail.com. We are a fun group of people who enjoy the benefits of Tai Chi along with the friendships we’ve made with the other practitioners in our club. Come check us out!

A brief summary of the classes we currently offer is given below:

Tuesday night: 6 – 7:30 pm beginner class (check our blog page for most recent class additions). Anyone is welcome regardless of experience level although the class is geared primarily toward the absolute beginner or those returning to Tai Chi practice and would like a refresher class.

Wednesday night: 6 – 7:30 pm on-going class.  This class will focus on improving form and balance by focusing on selected moves or series of moves during the class.  This class is open to anyone who is returning to Tai Chi practice or who has completed one of our beginner classes.

Thursday morning: 10:30 – 12 open practice.  This class is more “free-form” and typically the full set will be done one or more times.  While this class is geared toward students with more experience, anyone who is returning to Tai Chi practice or has completed a beginner class is welcome and you’ll be integrated into the class.

Friday afternoon: 12:45 – 2 pm open practice. This class is more “free-form” and typically the full set will be done one or more times.  While this class is geared toward students with more experience, anyone who is returning to Tai Chi practice or has completed a beginner class is welcome and you’ll be integrated into the class.
