Forms and Chi Gung
Welcome to taichi4u
WITH OVER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF TAI CHI TEACHING!
Our speciality is being able to adapt a style of teaching most appropriate to you and the nature of the other students.
These groups often differ greatly, so we draw from a wide range of forms and practices:
Very exciting and new for 2019:
The Tai Chi Flute and Staff Forms
(as taught to John Bolwell by Danny Connor in the early 1970s.)
White Monkey Staff Form
Chen Tai Chi Ball Form, as taught by John on last year’s superb Summer School in the Lake District.
