Tai Chi & Qi Gong intermediate classes
TUESDAYS 7:30 – 9pm
Regular weekly Tai Chi classes in Reading that focus on finding balance between two great forces of positive and negative.
The classes are a combination of Tai Chi Chuan (Taiji Quan) and Qi Gong. Tai Chi Chuan is a soft and slow martial art featuring circular and flowing movements. Eight Pieces of Brocade is one of the most practised Qi Gong forms in China.
Please note: This is not a beginners class. To join this class you need to be comfortable with the 10 and 24 Yang forms.
Private lessons
Private lessons are available for those who prefer one-to-one guidance. The sessions can be arranged to your specific needs, allowing for personalised instruction. You will develop a practise that aligns with your goals while progressing at your own pace.
We teach both, internal and external styles of Chinese Martials Arts. Internal styles are soft and utilise your internal energy (Qi) while external styles are hard and depend maily on muscle power or strengh.

Corina Atudorei2024-07-07I have thoroughly enjoyed my tai chi course with Jerry! He is an excellent instructor who has a great way of breaking things down and being patient with the students. You really see the progress week to week and it’s great to see your confidence with the movements improve as well as the peaceful state of mind this practice helps cultivate. Highly recommend!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Tom Staton2024-06-18Just coming to the end of a beginner's Tai Chi course. Jerry is an excellent teacher, Tai Chi is more difficult than it looks but Jerry breaks the movements down and then slowly pieces it all together. Jerry also explains the martial arts relevance of the movements. I found the pace just right, challenging but not overwhelming, with a bit of private practice in between classes.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Rod Cambridge2024-06-18I'm a couple of months in to Jerry's Tai Chi and Qi Gong course, and I'm really enjoying it! Our class consists of around 12 people which is a nice size, and lessons take place in a hall which is more than big enough. Jerry is patient and encouraging as we all get to grips with learning this new Tai Chi art, and relearning old skills... such as balancing on one leg! :) I'm looking forward to learning much more in the months ahead. Thanks Jerry!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Podge Webb2024-04-06I look forward to my class on a Sunday with sifu Jerry. Classes are not over crowded like some martial arts classes allowing full attention from Jerry. Every thing we learn or have any questions, it is explained in layman's terms. Sifu Jerry is very knowledgable,experienced and i am looking forward to learning a lot more from him in my journey.

Lynn Murphy2024-03-13I joined Jerry’s Tai Chi class last October and it has became an important part of my week and something I really look forward to. Jerry is a great teacher - welcoming, patient and encouraging! Tai Chi has many benefits and I am in no doubt that it has contributed to improving my balance, muscle strength and flexibility as well as focussing attention. Like everything, you do need to practice and the more you do, the greater the gains. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn about Tai Chi and/or is looking for a great way to improve their health, fitness and wellbeing.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Albert Toussaint2023-11-30If you're going to learn Tai Chi and Qigong, you'll want to learn from someone experienced, knowledgeable and also a good teacher. Jerry ticks all those boxes! He teaches you what to do, how to do it, and also why. His extensive experience of Tai Chi, Qigong and Martial Arts enables him to demonstrate, in great detail, the method, benefit and purpose of each step. If you have ever been thinking of taking a form of exercise to balance and strengthen both mind and body, then this is for you.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Chris White2023-11-14I am really enjoying both the 10 step Tai Chi and Qi Gong. Jerry is great teacher. His approach allows his small class to gain confidence quickly. He starts simply and then patiently helps us to improve our form so that it starts to become instinctive. I am 7 lessons in and have already signed up for the follow up course and look forward to the experience ahead.
