Workshops
As well as regular ongoing classes in the evening and
daytime the school offers a number of dedicated study groups which meet during
the year outside of regular classes.
The purpose of these groups is to work through the
complete forms and teach all the postures and techniques necessary to learn the
entire form during one calendar year.
This may be of interest to you if you want to do
something extra alongside regular classes or live further away and can’t always
make regular classes.
We have study groups covering the following topics over
the year.
Tai Chi Foundation Exercises.
Tai Chi Laojia Long Form.
Tai Chi Sword Form.
Tai Chi Canon Fist Form.
Tai Chi Forest of Dean.
Tai Chi Retreats in Padstow.
You are welcome to come along to any of the sessions throughout the year. Bear in mind the group will progress from the beginning of the year, and to ensure we cover all the material in the year, we will take a structured approach. This means that you can repeat sections in following years to deepen your understating or simply to cover sections you have missed.
