We have two Tai Chi groups: the Improvers and Advanced. We all play the Cheng Man Ching short form Tai Chi sequence and the Advanced group also play the Cheng Man Ching Long Form which takes just under 20 mins to play.

We start our sessions with warm up exercises, Qi Gong and various sets and then go deeper into some aspect of a Tai Chi form before playing the whole sequence.

If at some point in your life you have played either of these forms, you would be welcome to visit our Improvers Group to see if it might suit you.

Sadly there is no provision for beginners or near beginners at present within the u3a, but there are other teachers in and around Kendal. For more details, or advice on beginning Tai Chi, contact Jane by email above
