Learning Taiji (Tai Chi) can be rewarding for everyone, including children who do not normally find physical exercise easy or enjoyable. Children (and adults, who are also welcome to join in) are led through the experience of this ancient Chinese martial art by discussion, movement and games. Time spent ‘playing’ Taiji is highly enjoyable and memorable.

Classes can focus on Taiji, Qi Gong, and any aspect in detail, and can be timed and paced to the requirements of the teachers and/or pupils. We offer tailor-made classes, whether one session or a series of classes, over one or more terms. Our teacher will come to your school, and pricing will depend on the length of classes and particular requirements of the school.
