Are you struggling to find a class that suits you?
Is there knowledge you’d love to learn but can’t find a teacher who knows it?
Do you want to go deeper into tai chi, qigong or kung fu?

Look no further. We offer a range of courses you can learn from at home to guide you on your journey. There is already a wealth of knowledge here with much more to come.

Below is a selection of courses that enable you to learn from home. These course cover, or will cover tai chi, qigong, kung fu, health and healing and more.

Many more are in the pipeline and I’m always open to suggestions of new courses to create. I also have a range of articles on many aspects of what I teach with more coming all the time. Use the search bar at the top to find articles related to areas you’re interested in.

To access the articles and courses you will need one of the following membership levels. Your first week is completely free.

The Courses

Click on the title to be taken to the course. Each course contains a wealth of information that you’ll be hard pressed to find elsewhere. This is all authentic knowledge from one of the oldest surviving Taoist traditions left.

The Yang Style 37 Step Tai Chi Form

This can be a challenging form to learn so to make the form easier I have split it into six sections. The first, second and last sections are all available in the basic membership. The more challenging third, fourth and fifth sections are all available with an intermediate membership as is the course showing the whole form put together. I will shortly be creating a course showing some of the variations you can use in some of the key movements.

Practice over and over again. Not just until you think you have them right but constant practice. This is the path to gradually mastering your mind, body, balance, energy and breathing. Learning them by heart is not enough by a very long way.

Form Section One. Basic level
This very important course takes you through some of the basic skills you need to know before you can do the form. It also covers some of the principles of movement and power you need to understand. The movements in the first section are repeated several times throughout the rest of the form. They are like the chorus of a song so need to be learned thoroughly.

Form Section Two. Basic level.
This course reiterates the important principles. The section contains several movements many of which are repeated towards the end of the form.

Form Section Three. Intermediate level.
This section introduces you to two of the important arm circles. All the circles are gone over in a separate course. The movements of this section are easy to learn as there are only four of them but as always the devil is in the details.

Form Section Four. Intermediate level.
This is perhaps the most challenging of the sections as you need to master standing on one leg. So the course teaches you the tips and tricks to doing just that. It all lies in an understanding of yin and yang which is what tai chi chuan is all about.

Form Section Five. Intermediate level.
This section contains only one new movement but it is the longest single move in the whole form and contains some challenging and confusing footwork. Get your feet right first before you add the arms.

Form Section Six. Basic level
Most of what happens in this final section is moves you have done before. There is one challenging 360 degree turn but the rest of it should be manageable if you have got this far.

Videos of the whole form. Intermediate level.
You should have discovered by now that there is not one way to do the form but an infinite number of variations. It’s like painting a tree. There is no set way to do it and ignore anyone who tries to tell you your way is wrong. If it follows the principles of tai chi and has a set purpose why you have done it that way then it is right for you at that time.

Arm Circles for Kung Fu and Tai Chi. Basic level
These circular patterns are essential training for all the arts I teach. They give fluid power to the arms and shoulders and teach you to connect your body together for whole-body power.

Other Courses

I am creating a range of other courses in tai chi, qigong, kung fu, stress, breathing and more. Watch this space.

Breathing Basics Basic level
Breathing is the most important and fundamental thing you do. If you could change just one thing that would have the biggest impact on your physical and emotional health it would be to change the way you breathe. This course is for everyone. Learning to breathe better WILL change your life.
Cope with anxiety better – Sleep better – Have more energy – Fight infections – Manage chronic pain and more.

Breathing Skills – Going Deeper. Intermediate level
Develop your breathing further to help you control your emotional states such as fear, anger and depression. Increase your stamina, help to lose weight, keep warm in the cold, stop smoking and more all with the extraordinary power of your breath.
– Make sure you have mastered the basics in the previous course first before trying these more advanced skills.

Kung Fu Basic Skills. Basic level
This course takes you through essential training in stances, arm circles, kicks, strikes, tactics and more. The course is a work in progress and more lessons will be added in due course.

Leaping Tiger Kung Fu Form – first section. Basic level.
This form uses many of the skills from the above Basic Skills course and puts them into a truly functional form. It’s the first and most important form taught to students of Jade Dragon kung fu. This section is all about building strength into your body. It teaches you to root into your legs then transfer that rooted power into your arms and legs for powerful punches, kicks and throws etc.

Bagua Basics Circle Walking. Intermediate level
Baguazhang is a sister art to tai chi and a fascinating art to learn. There are no long, complicated forms to learn instead the focus is on the ancient yet sophisticated practice of walking in a circle. Almost everyone who tries it falls in love with the practice. It’s challenging yet not beyond the reach of anyone of any age or mobility level.
