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 White Monkey Staff Forms
(as taught to John Bolwell by Danny Connor in the early 1970s.)
Chen Tai Chi Ball Form, as taught by John on last year’s superb Summer School in the Lake District.
Other forms and sequences taught:
The Original Peking Short Form (24-Step);
(The first form taught to James by Bronwyn Hipkin 30-something years ago!)
