My first formal experience of Martial Arts was in 1982 when I started training in Wado-Ryu Karate. I achieved 1st Dan Black belt, entered competitions in sparring and forms. In 1995 I stumbled upon a T’ai Chi class and was hooked from the first moment, realizing the potential of T’ai Chi as a Health and Martial Art system. Trying to experience as much of the Art as possible I competed at National level in Qingda (semi-contact sparring) which I incorporate into Feng Shou (kung fu) classes.
Having always had in interest in martial arts I took up Karate in my teens. After achieving a 3rd degree black belt I found an advert for a local Tai Chi class. As luck would have it the class was taught by our Technical Director Tony Swanson who showed me, to my shock, that he could unbalance me very, very easily. This was the beginning of my Tai Chi journey back in 1986. I am still fascinated by the arts taught by the TAO. Come along & join the journey, who know’s where it will lead …..
