In September 2015 Ling Shui opened the doors on our Saturday morning Bamber Bridge class for the very first time. Since that humble beginning, we've moved location three times, weathered a global pandemic and openend up another five weekly classes in various locations.
In order to mark our first 10 years we'll be organising a number of events throughout the year, kicking off with the second instalment of our "Xin Jia First 15" seminar later this month. February sees our annual Chinese New Year celebrations to welcome in the year of the Snake with a full day of Tai Chi/Qigong, followed by a Chinese banquet in the evening. In September we'll be joined by guest instructor
David Gaffney for an afternoon seminar looking at Lao Jia Yilu. In addition to running The officially affiliated UK branch of the Chen Jiagou school, David is an accomplished author with several Tai Chi books to his name including "Chen Taijiquan Illustrated", which we recommend as a course handbook to all new students. We'll also be running our other usual Tai Chi and Qigong seminars throughout the year.
As if that wasn't enough, we'll be sending a delegation to take part in Master Chen Ziqiang's March seminar, Master Wang Hai Jun's residential double sabre seminar in April and Grand Master Chen Zhenglei's annual UK seminar in May. That's not to mention our various weekly classes in Penwortham, Bamber Bridge, Chorley, Lostock Hall and Tarleton.
While it's the quality of your practice that really matters, it doesn't hurt to look good while you're at it. To that end, we thought we'd milk the 10th anniversary concept for all it was worth and have put together some rather glamorous t-shirts and hoodies to set you apart from the hoi polloi. You'll find details and an order form here in our members area.
With so much happening this year, it's the perfect time to join us, so if you've been curious to find out more about Tai Chi there's no better time to take the plunge. Head over to our Beginners page and book your place now!
