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


Both of our instructors are registered with The Tai Chi Union for Great Britain. Sifu Waller is also a professionally qualified teacher (Postgraduate Certificate in Education).  


Martial


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. He has committed 18 years to full-time teaching and practice.
 

I think Sifu Waller knows more about functional biomechanics than all the orthopaedic surgeons I have met put together.

(Dr David Cousins)
