In martial arts it is essential to practice daily to attain familiarity,
 treating them as ordinary affairs, so the mind remains unchanged.

Tai chi private lessons

Is it necessary to have private tuition?

This depends on what you want from your tai chi.
In a regular class, sifu's time and attention must be spread across a room of people.
In a private lesson, you are sifu's sole concern.


Tuition

Students seeking private tuition must first:

1. Attend 8 lessons of regular class

2. Pay the annual membership fee

3. Buy the school T-shirt and kung fu trousers

Sifu reserves the right to refuse potential private students.


What can you study?

People choose to study one of the following options:

1. Tai chi for health

2. Tai chi for health & self defence

3. Strength-building exercises

Sifu determines the detail of the lessons, tailoring the tuition relative to your ability level.

Strength-building

Not everyone wants to learn form or memorise a lot of material.
Some people would rather focus on suppleness, strength-building, relaxation and joint mobility.

The exercises we offer are a relaxing alternative to pilates or yoga.


Timetable

This list represents potential slots and is not our diary:

If you want an evening lesson, please consider the regular classes.


Personal development

Everybody has physical quirks and bad habits that can compromise the effectiveness of their tai chi.
Personal tuition means that these are identified and your practice tailored to suit your specific needs.


Can I share the class with somebody else?

Certainly.
If you want to bring a friend or partner, that is fine*.
Shared private lessons are a good way to get in-depth tuition.


How long do the lessons last?

Private lessons are 60 minutes long.


How much do the lessons cost?

£25.
*£15 each for 2 people sharing the lesson.


Venue

Private lessons are taken in Sunderland.


Punctuality

Students are expected to arrive 5 minutes early.


Cancellations

We require 24 hours notice for cancellations.

Cancelled lessons cost us money and prevent other people from booking that slot.
You will be charged for the lesson you booked if you cancel without adequate notice.
