Oasis...
Week in, week out, people attend tai chi classes. The instructor is always friendly. The lessons are always stimulating. Your fellow students are always courteous, well mannered and nice.
Your personal life may be in turmoil, your work life may be tedious or disappointing, yet tai chi class remains a constant: comfortable, familiar, friendly and fun.Instead of being met by rivalry, one-upmanship and stress, you encounter friendship and warmth.
Freedom from stress?
A tai chi class is a quiet place, yet somehow neither boring nor lacking in stimulation. There are no mobile phones, no TV screens, no computers, no concerns, worries or deadlines.
Instead, you can relax, let go and get some much needed 'me' time.When the incessant noise and distraction ends, you will start to feel different. Tai chi will assist you in becoming quiet inside.

More than just form?
Taijiquan students study all 13 areas of practice:
- Qigong
- Fitness
- Form
- Pushing hands
- Principles
- Brain work (meditation, awareness, metacognition)
- Neigong (whole-body strength)
- Jing (whole-body power)
- Self defence
- Martial skill
- Chin na (seizing)
- Shuai jiao (take downs)
- Weapons
Exploring these 13 areas of study will offer a balanced comprehension of the art.

Training options
We offer 3 options for people wanting to move up the syllabus:
1. Tai chi for health
2. Tai chi for fitness
3. Taijiquan
Prior experience?
Some people have studied qigong or tai chi before. This is fine. They should be accustomed to learning and find it easy to do. Everyone starts from the beginning, regardless of prior experience.
Why don't we offer tai chi to beginners?
Eye/hand coordination, motor skills, posture, poise, gait and alignment in the average UK adult is poor. Jumping straight into tai chi form and complex partner work is too ambitious. Training the qigong exercises will be challenging enough.
