Do I get to keep my videos if I unsubscribe?
Yes. Your account will always show the videos you’ve paid for - even if you unsubscribe. You can always continue from where you left off by re-subscribing.
How do I unsubscribe or pause my subscription?
Please follow these instructions:
- Log into your members area on the Discover Taiji Website
- Click ‘Account’
- Click ‘Subscriptions’
- Click 'Cancel Subscription'
Make sure to cancel before the day of the subscriptions renewal to avoid an unwanted charge.
You will still be able to watch all the videos you have unlocked. If you wish to continue unlocking videos week by week, simply re-subscribe to a yearly or monthly option.
I’m super advanced, may I pay to have all of the videos at once?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: As many advanced practitioners know, internal practices including Taiji are utterly dependent upon the fundamentals. So unless you’ve trained this exact system previously, then the best way to train the Discover Taiji course is the same for advanced people and beginners alike: with the fundamentals first.
The teachings further into the course depend so much on deep understanding of the fundamentals that we want to prevent practitioners from shooting themselves - and Taijiquan itself - in the foot by skipping ahead.
