Lewisham Tai Chi

General information

Lewisham Tai Chi offers this class beginners class for those looking to learn and practice tai chi in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Tai chi is an ancient Chinese art that is practiced by millions of people world wide, with a deserved reputation for improving well being, health and vitality.

Through the class we will mainly focus upon the health aspects of tai chi utilising exercises such as qigong breathing, silk reeling, standing meditation and plenty of Chen Style exercises including the loajia form.

Chen style tai chi is also an excellent form of self defence due to its basis in the yin yang theory which talks about balancing the hard and the soft. Holding this concept in mind we will take a gentle glance across the martial aspects of the art as well, such as pushing hands and practical applications of the movements to balance our training.

Classes are held in 'The Barn' at The Green Man on Thursday.

Each night there are two sessions:

6.30 - 7.15 pm - Foundation Exercises and
7.15 - 8 pm - Laojia Form.

It is £4 for one session or £8 for both on one night. A block booking of £36 gets 6 nights (one or both sessions).

Both classes are accessible by bus, car and local trains and there is parking nearby.
