In our classes there are no cliques or egos. Everyone is friendly and helps each other to understand the skills. The knowledge may be serious but we have lots of fun and laughter learning it.

What Our Students Say

5/5
“This is a great school. I have learned more here than in a few weeks than I have studying for years in my previous class. I love Master Paul’s demonstrations. So graceful yet so powerful. I look forward to many more sessions with him”
GW (Reading)
5/5
“Tai chi has become my favourite thing of the week. A time to relax, discover more about myself and gradually improve my balance and mobility. I used to get that through yoga but find now that tai chi is more rewarding for me.”
FC (WOkingham)
5/5
“I was worried about coming to my first kung fu class but everyone was so friendly. The skills are amazing. In my very first session I learned how to stand so strong I couldn’t be moved even by someone twice my size.”
JC (Caversham)
