Masterclasses,
Fight Clubs and Advanced Martial Arts Training
By invitation only
For those of our students who are serious about learning self-protections skills, or who wish to perfect their forms and/or undertake some regular training for fitness and/or competitions. These sessions are more physically demanding than our normal classes and therefore require a suitable level of fitness.
Suitable for those of our students who have achieved minimum level 1 or equivalent and are progressing towards levels 2 and 3 and also for instructors' professional development.
If you would like to attend these sessions please speak to Col or g in class.

In addition to the above, we also have a number of classes in private health clubs (which require membership) and several classes which we provide on request for community organisations, such as elderly action groups, and private companies.
We provide occasional seminars and workshops on various topics of interest to our students.
There is a full instructor training programme available within the school for those students achieving an apporopriate level of martial arts skills and knowledge together with sound interpersonal skills.
Private tuition, customised courses, personal fitness training, life coaching, psychotherapy, talks, demonstrations and consultation services are also available on request.
(Corresponding to Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 assessment criteria previously approved by theTai Chi Union for Great Britain and the National Awarding Body NCFE)
Level 1 One short hand form such as 24 step or Cheng man Ching (or equivalent) to a reasonable standard, incorporating basic Tai Chi principles, plus some familiarity with basic fixed step pushing hands and the martial applications of ward off, roll back, press and push.
Level 2 Two short hand forms or one long form, plus a sword form, to a very good standard, incorporating technical correctness in posture and footwork, fluidity of movement and a sound understanding of Tai Chi principles and the ability to apply a range of movements from the form in a martial context. Competence in fixed step push hands and moving step push hands drills.
Level 3 Includes advanced skills across a full Tai Chi syllabus including the use of a weapon and appropriate martial skills.
Students may then continue to progress by widening and deepening their studies, developing and exploring areas of interest and perhaps passing on their skills and knowledge to others. Those students who complete our programme of instructor training and assessment and achieve the Instructor's Certificate in Tai Chi Chuan are recommended by us to the Tai Chi Union for Great Britain for Instructor Membership (subject to approval by the TCUGB Technical Panel).
