Martial arts, traditional Chinese exercise and health systems - especially Tai Chi – have been my passion for over 40 years. I teach the full extent of the art with its
dual aspects of healing and martial skills, including traditional weapons training. I run classes in Rugby, Warwickshire.
I travelled to China, in 1988, to undertake many months of intensive training. Some of the most renowned teachers in the world taught us for up to five hours a day, six days a week, at the Beijing Sports University. My main teacher, Yang Li, was gracious enough to give me additional tuition after official training hours. The things she taught me were of the Old School. At that time China was not easy to visit and I was one of only a handful of students from outside the country who had the privilege of studying at the university.

I have studied all the 3 main Niejia (internal) styles - Taiji, Bagua & Hsing-Yi. 

I have also undertaken a three year Traditional Chinese Medicine training course in Acupuncture and Tuina Massage and a one year course in Traditional Thai Yoga massage.
