The Jade Dragon School teaches authentic tai chi chuan, qigong, baguazhang and yu lung chuan (Jade Dragon Kung Fu) from beginner to advanced levels to invididuals and groups of all kinds. We also have an ever growing members section where you can learn any of our skills from home. Feel free to browse.
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 contrast to so many teachers now who have ‘qualified’ to teach after just a few months of training.
Master Chapman has personally taught well over two thousand students the beauty and intricacies of the Chinese internal martial and health arts.
He will be running a tai chi and qigong retreat near Stroud in Gloucestershire from 8th – 10th May 2026. There are a few places remaining. Contact the school if you’re interested in coming.
Tai Chi is practiced every day by millions because of the way it teaches you to hold and move your body without tension. Gain strength, mobility, balance, energy and more.
Kung fu is probably the ultimate all round system of exercise, self development and self defence. Within the vast world of kung fu lies an incredible wealth of knowledge on how to develop mind, body and spirit. Click here to find out more about our classes.
We now teach public classes and private groups and have over 200 current students who love our friendly and expert classes, retreats and workshops.
