EasternPeace Tai Chi Tutorial Classes
Small Circle Yang Style Tai Chi for Health & Vitality
Join me exploring the principles of Yang Style Tai Chi with the goal of establishing a strong foundation for your Tai Chi practice.
The emphasis will be on Tai Chi for inner calm, vitality and rejuvenation, not martial applications.
We will learn a short sequence, I call Yang 6, which will be sufficient for supporting health and well-being and prepare you for learning more 'form' in future courses.
I will share videos to practice with before each class and after so the maximum benefit can be taken from our time together.
What I need from you is the commitment to practise what we learn together.
Perhaps more than any other health activity, learning Tai Chi requires daily practice especially at the beginning of your learning journey, but it is worth it. The rewards are very great!
Our goal is for you to be able to be able to practise the Tai Chi independently and continue for the rest of your life.
I will support late attenders as much as possible, so join as soon as you can.

About Anthony:
I graduated from Cambridge University in 1992 with a degree in computer science & management along with a breakdown.
I worked for a couple of years first as a financial auditor, then a computer programmer before deciding to pack up my life and see what I could find in Asia to help my body relax and recover its vitality.
After travelling through India & Nepal for six months, I arrived in China, found a Yang Style Tai Chi teacher and never looked back.
I studied modern style Beijing 24, 42 Form and Chen 74 with a teacher called Wang Zhi Ping in China between 1997 and 2006. I lived there for a year and a half at one stage.
Over a few visits to Chenjiagou, I became a student of Chen Zhao Sen and learn his Chen Forms, but eventually settled with Yang Dong Bao from 2010 eventually learning both his Yang & Chen Small Circle Tai Chi.
I continued spending six months a year with Yang Dong Bao, learning 1-1 with him daily until I slowly reduced the study time to one month a year by 2014. My last visit was in the Autumn of 2018.
I taught Modern Yang Style Tai Chi between 2005-2007 in the UK, and then started again sharing Small Circle Style from 2014.
