Tai chi Classes in Erith, Kent

Interested in having a go at Taichi for yourself in a relaxed, non-intimidating atmosphere?

I will be running a 6 week introduction to Tai Chi course, starting on Friday 14th August 2009 at KBT Martial Arts Academy situated at 365-369 Bexley Road, Erith, Kent DA8 3EZ

The KBT Academy is a purpose-designed martial arts training centre which has superb facilities and is clean, light and airy. In fact, perfect for taichi!

What form does the class take?

The classes will commence at 11am for an hour and a half with a 5 minute break after 40 minutes for a refreshing cup of Jasmine tea and a chance to reflect on what you’ve learnt.

How are the classes structured?

After a brief, non-impact warmup, we’ll begin to learn the movements of a simplified yang style form together. After our break, we will start to study the ‘eight defence movements’ which will give you the basics of keeping yourself safe from an attacker. At the end of the class I will teach you a form of Qigong which will leave you invigorated and refreshed!

What can I hope to gain from this 6 week course?

The study of Tai Chi will leave you more aware of your own body mechanics and how to move with grace and power plus you will learn about meditative breathing techniques. At the end of the course you will have covered all the movements of a simplified yang style Tai Chi form and, hopefully, you will have enjoyed yourself too!

Can I continue training after the initial 6 week course?

Those of you who wish to continue will be able to do so as further classes will be available.

What do I need to wear?

You will need comfortable, loose-fitting clothes and flat-soled kung-fu slippers or trainers.

What is the cost?

The cost for the course will be just £48 for all 6 weeks.

I’d like to come but I will be on holiday for a part of the course?

No problem. Any of the attendees who miss a week or two due to other commitments will be offered a ‘catchup’ lesson free of charge!

How do I sign up?

Please send a cheque made payable to ‘S. Evans’ for the total amount and send it to: ‘Introduction to Taichi’, KBT academy, 365-369 Bexley Road, Erith, Kent DA8 3EZ
