Fantastic!

I had no idea what to expect when I signed up for this private class. My mother had expressed interest in taking a Tai Chi class for beginners, and neither of us really knew anything about the practice. This class was amazing, and it was taught in a beautiful park. The teacher was exceptional and very kind and the class was so much fun. The teacher's translator was fantastic, and the class included not just the basics of Tai Chi movement but also interesting facts and the history of the practice. I highly recommend this, it is great fun, a true cultural experience, and you will learn a lot.

Learn the Basics of Tai Chi and Become Kungfu Panda!

Have you ever been taught something that completely changes your preconceived notion of how the world works? Well, that’s how I felt after taking a two hour introductory course from a local tai chi master in Shanghai earlier today! First the principles of tai chi are based upon Taoism (Ying-Yang). It is an ancient martial art that mimics the movements of animals—particularly the tiger. Like most people I thought that tai chi mostly consists of arm and leg movements. The master demonstrated, though, that this is completely wrong. The most important part of tai chi is based upon controlling one’s center of gravity and learning how to move properly your hips and spine. Throughout the two hour lesson I learned the basics of moving muscles and bones that I never knew I could control. We even spent 30 minutes learning how to climb and go down stairs without using your knees—if that makes any sense! One of our business partners in China heard that I had signed up for this class and nicknamed me Kungfu Panda as a joke. While it was meant as a joke, it turns out, however, that there is a lot of hidden symbolism in this cartoon. The animals are actually practicing tai chi throughout the movie, and the director spent 4 years in a Taoist temple studying tai chi. Thus this nickname turned out to be quite appropriate! While I have not yet mastered anything, the great thing about tai chi is that it is possible to practice anywhere! The master, Mike Yuen, expects me to send him short video clips via WeChat to check my progress! If you are ever in Shanghai and have some free time, I would strongly recommend trying tai chi, and Shanghai Pathways made it easy to sign up.

Private Chinese Tai Chi Workshop: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Shanghai.

How much does Private Chinese Tai Chi Workshop cost?

+

Prices start at $63 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Shanghai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Private Chinese Tai Chi Workshop take?

+

Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Shanghai is not rushed.

Is Private Chinese Tai Chi Workshop worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Shanghai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Private Chinese Tai Chi Workshop?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Private Chinese Tai Chi Workshop suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Private Chinese Tai Chi Workshop?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Shanghai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Shanghai and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Private Chinese Tai Chi Workshop start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Shanghai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Shanghai?

+

On Outty we rank every Shanghai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Shanghai Full Day City Tour with Old and New Highlights, Suzhou Private Day Trip from Shanghai with Bullet Train Option, 4-Hour Flexible Private Shanghai City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Shanghai?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Shanghai?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
