Through the art you will learn simple straightforward self defence techniques that use softness rather than muscle power. We don’t rely on kicks and blows. We learn to take control of a situation creating the opportunity to just walk away from an aggressor.

The continual movement of the tai chi ‘form’ will condition your muscles and sinews. Through practise you will discover a strength that you were unaware of and the power of effortless movement.

The classes also include chi gong (energy work). For centuries this was a secret practice of Chinese martial artists. These days it is widely known in the west and now you can learn this secret of inner power.
