new class at Chapter One Tea Rooms

There are still places available in the new tai chi and qigong class starting at Chapter One Tea Rooms in Hindley this Wednesday 1 November at 2.30pm. Classes are at the reduced rate of £3.50/session and this first one is free for everyone. The nice people at Chapter One Tea Rooms have even offered to throw in a free pot of tea. Call or email to book your place.

Forever Friends performance

I'm back now after our debut performance on the London stage. It's been a lot of hard work with many challenges and difficulties along the way. In the end Faye Li Yip's vision won through them all as you can see in the video above. I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to take part in this.

Here are some pictures taken by Joanne's husband Julian.

Tonight's class

Don't forget that the time and room have changed for tonight's class. See you at 8.15pm in the Dance Studio!

Wednesday evening class time change

As I said in class yesterday, the Wednesday evening class is changing from next week. We will be moving to the dance studio at the other end of the school in M block. If you are going by car you can park outside near the all weather pitch.

This also means a change of time and we will be starting at 8.15pm. See you there!

More Autumn events

Not a local event, but worth a trip to London! To celebrate 45 years of diplomatic relations between China and the UK, the UK Chinese Art Centre is putting together this stunning show on Tuesday 24 October at the Hackney Empire. Joanne and I will be performing in the tai chi part of the show along with other members of the Deyin Taijiquan Institute from all over the UK. You can buy tickets here.

Almost as glamorous and much more local, I will be starting a new beginners' tai chi and qigong class at the Chapter One Tea Rooms in Hindley on Wednesday afternoons at 2.30pm from 1 November. It is a reduced price class at £3.50/session and the nice people at Chapter One Tea Rooms have even offered to throw in a free pot of tea for the first class. :) Space is limited so booking is essential.

Autumn tai chi events

There is lots of good stuff coming up for the Autumn.

On 26 August in Aigburth, Liverpool is part 3 of the taiji kungfu fan routine with Angela Howarth.

Master Tary Yip will be visiting Liverpool on Saturday 9 September to give a workshop on the Sun style 13 step form. Information on the event and how to book here.

And down in Telford on Saturday 30 September will be the next of the popular Deyin Taijiquan Institute bootcamps. These are free to Deyin members and only £15 to non-members. They can get filled up quickly so book soon to avoid disappointment.

This is followed on Sunday 1 October by xing yi quan and push hands with Master Tary Yip.

And on 28 October in Blundellsands, Liverpool is a morning workshop on applications and push hands with Angela Howarth.
