A taijiquan school
We are a taijiquan school. There is a syllabus,
lessons, teachers. Learning is our focus. Taijiquan cannot be taught in a
haphazard way - a proven syllabus is essential.
Our students explore an advanced
version of Yang style taijiquan.

Fit to teach
Rachel and Sifu Waller are advanced-level
instructors with
The Tai Chi Union for Great Britain. Sifu Waller is
a professionally qualified teacher (Postgraduate Certificate in Education).
Martial
Rachel has a background in taekwondo,
chin na, taijiquan and baguazhang. She is in charge of
tai chi for self defence and
women's self defence.
Sifu Waller
is an experienced kung fu instructor. He has a background in
ju jitsu, karate and wing chun, and offers a very
pragmatic kung fu
syllabus that incorporates baguazhang,
chin na, shuai jiao
and taijiquan. His sessions are stimulating, fun and non-macho.
I think Sifu Waller knows
more about functional biomechanics than all the orthopaedic surgeons I have
met put together.
(Dr David Cousins)
