Master ZhiCheng often says that gaining skill in Taoist practice (whether qi gong, tai chi (taiji), meditation, etc.) requires "patient, persistent practice of the proper method over time."

Intensive series classes offer a chance for students - beginners through advanced practitioners - to improve their technique. Typically an hour and a half long, each sequence class (lasting from 6 - 12 weeks) involves verbal and visual instruction in technique, body mechanics, mind-intent, breathing patterns, and more, with ample time for student questions.

It is recommended that students also attend at least one ongoing practice class per week of the intensive series subject, to reinforce and apply the lessons presented in these series.
