Expert Tai Chi and Kung Fu Training in Berkshire
Tai chi and kung fu are amazing arts. No other exercise art or system can offer the huge benefits these arts do. Real tai chi and kung fu skills are highly sought after because of the promise of effortless yet relaxed power they promise. They are also sought after because they are so very rare. Many schools exist but very few of them have the real deal. We do and our skills and knowledge come direct from a mountain in South West China.

The Jade Dragon School
We have been teaching tai chi, qigong and kung fu in Berkshire since 2003. But our tradition goes way back before that originating in a temple on the slopes of the Jade Dragon mountain in South West China.
The school is run by Paul Chapman who has nearly 40 years teaching and training experience in tai chi and kung fu. He personally runs all the classes himself. We offer:
Learn a huge range of skills
We teach a range of tai chi and kung fu skills including:
- The popular CMC37 Yang style short form – one of the most widely practiced tai chi forms in the world.
- The ‘Five breaths of Tao’ which is a set of qigong breathing exercises unique to the Jade Dragon system. Each of these exercises develops your mind, body and energy in different ways. Online course coming soon.
- The 8 animal qigong exercises. These lengthen and strengthen your muscles, create fluid power and open your energy channels.
- The ‘eternal wave’ sword form. This is a beautiful form that creates wave-like movements that flow through your body and out to the tip of your sword. These movements open your joints and energy pathways and restore vibrant health, flexibility and whole-body power.
- We run a series of workshops teaching animal kung fu styles, weapons training, baguazhang and more. All of it is based on the natural principles of tai chi.
