Last week the group decided they prefer doing Tai Chi outside now that it is warming up. It was good practicing in the fresh air with the birds fluttering around us in the garden. We will move inside on rainy days.
Just a note to remind people that the class on Sunday April 22nd will be at 10am as my Beijing Son Gui Shi Zhuo (Kevin) is arriving in the afternoon. We are picking him up from the airport.
There will be no Sunday class on May 13th as he returns to Beijing that day.
One of my Beijing Tai Chi teachers, Tom Zhang will be visiting me in June for 2 weeks. We will make the most of him while he is with us. It's his first trip to England so I hope he enjoys himself.

Very Happy
My new classes have now been running for 3 weeks. I'm enjoying them very much. The venue at the Catholic Club in Beverley is great. The management made us very welcome.
The upstairs room has a good calm atmosphere with plenty of space. At the moment we are concentrating on basic Qi Gong and working slowly and steadily on the Yang 8 step form. The class members have decided they prefer a slow and thoughtful approach, which is great for me.
I have booked the room for an extra 30 minutes so that I can work with a student who had already started to learn sword with me. Most of the group stay for this session and want to join in, so I am probably going to tag a sword lesson onto the Tai Chi Quan class once everyone has progressed a bit more with the basics.
I hope everyone is enjoying the classes as much as I am. It's great to see people getting into Tai Chi and having fun. One student told me, I never thought I'd manage to do anything like this, it's great to find out I can. This is what is so great about Tai Chi anyone can practice it, regardless of age or fitness level. It can be adapted as needed.

10 days to go
Started posting adverts for my new class today. Students and friends have been great and have helped me find lots of places to put them up.
Had a great afternoon doing Qigong and Sword with a friend. A bit windy, but not too cold so we managed to practice outside.

I am very excited as I have finally managed to find a place for my classes in January.
They will be held at the Catholic Club, starting on Sunday January 15th. You can try out your first class for free. Please contact me for details. (See details page)
If there is enough interest I would like to tag a Yang Style Sword class onto the end of the Tai Chi Quan class. I have enough swords for 10 people so places would be limited.
I have also been busy producing a DVD which will accompany the classes to help students practice at home. This is a first for me so I hope it will be useful.
