New class in Norris Green, Liverpool

If you live in the Norris Green area of Liverpool and fancy learning tai chi I have a new beginners' class starting at the Ellergreen Community Centre on Ellergreen Road.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Gōng xǐ fā cái!

The Year of the Goat starts today. I will be joining in the celebrations with my school, the Deyin Taijiquan Institute, on Saturday. You are all welcome to join me. Details are here.

And on Sunday there are celebrations in the Chinatowns of Manchester and Liverpool with dragon and lion dances and fireworks.

Vote for us!

As you know, World Tai Chi Day is in April and we will be joining with other tai chi students and instructors to do tai chi in the Festival Gardens in Liverpool.

We've applied for funding from the Galaxy Hot Chocolate Fund to promote the event. Every week they give £300 to the entry with the most votes that week, so please click here to go to the Galaxy Hot Chocolate page to vote for us.

Videos

I said I would see if I could find a YouTube video of the 16 step sword form, so here it is. And here it is from the back view.

And here is my friend and colleague Angela Howarth doing the 8 step hand form in the Festival Gardens in Liverpool.
