We're delighted to announce that we'll be welcoming David Gaffney, chief instructor at Chen Jiagou Taijiquan GB to spend an afternoon looking at the first two sections of Lao Jia Yilu.
David began his training in Asian martial arts in 1980, but has focused exclusively on Chen Taijiquan since 1996. He's trained with many leading Chen Taijiquan teachers and since 2003 has been training with Chen Xiaoxing in the Chenjiagou Taijiquan School.
His quest to experience the art in the most authentic way has seen him travel to China more than twenty times to train in Chen Jiagou, the birthplace of Taijiquan. He is one of the few westerners to be awarded an Advanced Instructor’s Certificate by the Chenjiagou Taijiquan School and holds a sixth Duan grade with the Chinese Wushu Association. He has published a number of books with Davidine Siaw-Voon Sim, including "Chen Taijiquan Illustrated" which we recommend to all students as a course handbook. David also publishes the popular Talking Chen Taijiquan blog.
David is one of the UK's leading instructors of Chen Tai Chi, so don't miss this chance to train with him in here in Preston. For more information regarding the forthcoming seminar, or to book a place, head over to our seminars page.
