What makes us different
- Less rigid structure with lots of experimentation
- Fun, friendly welcoming classes
- Expert tuition that focuses on the specifics of how to gain maximum power effortlessly. We use the tried and tested principles of tai chi. Most schools just focus on basic physical training or telling you to go harder and faster
- No children under 16 to distract you
- Very comprehensive syllabus. Includes all types of physical training, weapons skills, pressure points, locks, blocks, kicks, throws, strikes etc done in a huge number of ways.
Our school is more like a group of friends getting together to learn and train rather than the strict discipline of a martial arts school. It’s a more enjoyable atmosphere and so much more fun than a gym.
