Self Defence




Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth.
I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother.
A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.

(Jesus of Nazareth)

Intermediate class (members only)

There is an intermediate class on a Tuesday evening. It is for students who have graduated our beginners syllabus.

The class starts at 7:00 PM, lasts for 90 minutes and costs £7.50.

It is a members-only class.

Making progress

Intermediate students are no longer beginners.
They have gained a basic grasp of tai chi but are still quite inexperienced.
The intermediate syllabus is about strengthening the fundamentals and extending the scope of their abilities considerably.

Highlights:

  1. 13 postures
  2. Chin na applications/misplacing the bones
  3. Countering a knife
  4. Dying ground (intermediate)
  5. Form application
  6. Freeform grappling
  7. Massage
  8. Yang Cheng Fu form (sections 2 & 3)

The curriculum is extensive and thorough.

There are five grades within the intermediate syllabus: orange, green, yellow, blue and red.
