For Chen Family style Tai Chi Chuan
only If a student passes 18 Movements, Lao Jia,
Xin Jia, single saber, single sword, staff, spear and double
batons (maces) he or she is entitled to a collegiate
bachelor's degree.
If a student later passes Lao Jia 2 (cannon fist), Xin Jia 2,
double saber, double sword, kwan dao, two long pole sets and
one additional set (choices currently are: stick (zhang), fan,
melon hammers or flail) he or she is entitled to a collegiate
master's degree.
We do NOT currently have a curriculum
organized for any other Tai Chi Chuan styles - usually they do
not have enough sets. Nor have we constructed a curriculum for
Xing Yi Chuan or Bagua Zhang. It would be straightforward
to define a curriculum for external arts such as Northern
Shaolin, Hung Gar and Choy Le Fut. The consensus among Chinese
martial arts professionals and doctors was that external arts
would be a poor path for most people with autism spectrum
disabilities. |
