Due to circumstances almost entirely within my control, the class timetable has been severely truncated. This was for several reasons... non of which matter too much to a great many people who are not me. If you want to know why then by all means contact me for further information,

North Park sessions are open to all. Tuesday 20:30 - 21:30

The centre is Bootle Leisure Centre, Washington Parade, Bootle. It is located near to The Strand Shopping Centre and so is easy to reach using public transport. Prices for the centre are currently £2.50 (but check with the centre first) per hour session and the training includes many varied aspects of Taijiquan training.
Here we practice the Yang Lu-Ch'an form as well as some sword work. A very relaxed and easy going session is to be had here with not too much emphasis on getting it all right... just bits of it. This way there is little pressure for each student to feel they need to do sodding great long forms inch perfect all the time. Heck knows I don't do that myself so why should anybody else?
As the sessions go we may train some specific techniques and methods and use other forms to try to illustrate the scope of what Taiji is all about. Mostly though we just have a funny old time.

 

Cheshire Lines sessions are open to all. Friday 18:00 - 20:30

All that is who wish to learn the martial side of Taijiquan. I make no bones about the fact that this session is about the application side of things but does include slower forms within the framework of the class.

This session includes work on push-hands, sword, application, san-sau (small and large), Lu-ch'an, and just about anything else I can think of at the time. The time is not spent evenly and some weeks certain elements are left out to concentrate on others.
Put it this way, 21/2 hours is not nearly enough. At just £4.00 for the session this is a bargain.

Again the feel of the session is one of fun and frivolity. Make no mistake that there is a good deal of stuff packed into this session and every student is expected to work at their form.

Questions from students guide the whole thing so everyone gets a bit of what they want most. Membership of BCCMA is expected at this session as bruises are a strong possibility. Membership can quickly be sorted for regular attendees.
