Chen Tai-Chi, Bishopstoke

Informal Weekly classes in Chen Style Taijiquan (Tai-Chi) with Ellie Thomas on the hub field. Also private classes. Experienced teacher.

I have been teaching Taijiquan (Tai Chi) in Winchester since 2000 but have recently moved my class to Bishopstoke -this page is to promote it and provide info for existing or potential students.

I teach Chen Style which is the original style of Taijiquan (Tai-Chi) from which the Yang style and all the other styles developed. It is an internal martial art, also very beneficial for health and relaxation. It encourages improved posture and balance through whole body movement and contains a wide range of movements - from the slow and graceful to the explosively fast.

Classes are on Most Wednesday mornings on the field at the hub I will post on here if any are cancelled. I also teach private lessons.
