We specialise in teaching people who start learning Tai Chi later in life. Most of our students are over 50, several in their seventies and eighties. We also have some younger students who enjoy the day-time class as a welcome energy-boost for the start of their work-week (adults only).

The joy of training: Benefits

Learning Tai Chi Chuan has a variety of mental, physical, and emotional benefits. Its core goal is creating balance; inner calm is good for your health, and will positively influence your life and relationships. After some months of training, you will feel stronger, more relaxed, focused and self-confident. 
Training together also has an important social aspect: Some of our students have been training together for years and have developed friendships outside of the gym. It is nice to be on this path together.
