Hine Tai Chi Schools
In order to spread the art of Tai Chi and its benefits, John Hine created Hine Tai Chi Schools. He created a sophisticated training regime to train advanced Tai Chi students who wanted to become Tai Chi instructors. Those instructors were offered franchises to operate their schools under the umbrella of Hine Tai Chi Schools.
All of the franchised teachers train weekly with Master Hine and adhere to the same high standards and levels of instruction as his own school instructors. They are taught how to teach the detailed moves of Tai Chi and the psychology of teaching in the teacher training programme.
Master Hine is currently considering offering the Tai Chi franchise training to people from outside of his own schools. If you are interested in a change of career to become a Tai Chi instructor please email us through our contact page.
