The Jade Dragon School

Authentic Tai Chi, Qigong and Kung Fu training

  • Expert tuition
  • Fun Classes and Workshops
  • Personal training
  • Online courses

The school is run by Master Paul Chapman who started training in the Jade Dragon School in 1986. He underwent twelve years of training under two highly respected masters before he was deemed worthy to run his own classes. This is in marked contrast to so many teachers now who have ‘qualified’ to teach after just a few months, or even weeks of training.

Master Chapman has personally taught well over two thousand students the beauty and intricacies of the Chinese internal martial and health arts.

His own masters Li Jianguo and David Irvine were great believers in continuous experimentation. They did not believe in teaching rote what had been passed down over generations. Instead they pushed their students to constantly experiment and adapt everything they learned towards the ultimate goal of maximum power with minimum effort. In this manner the students learn faster and less of the more advanced knowledge gets lost over the years.
