Welcome to Tai Chi Wisdom; we teach friendly classes and workshops across Brighton and Hove, Steyning and Berlin. Our emphasis is on each student being able to develop the skills required for excellent Tai Chi (Taijiquan), starting with a simple short form for beginners before progressing in partner work and weapons for intermediate and advanced levels of experience. Whether it's health benefits, martial skills or the meditative aspects which have drawn you to Tai Chi and Qigong, we value them all and enjoy teaching students how to deepen their understanding in all these areas.
Most of our classes are taught in 10 week terms so that everything can be learned easily, step by step, with plenty of repetition of explanation and practice. Weekend workshops are opportunities to explore specific aspects of the arts more deeply. Our next term starts w/c 16th April. We teach all levels from absolute beginners to teachers and national competitors, so, whatever your ambition, we have classes and seminars for you. We teach both modern and traditional Tai Chi including a complete Yang Style curriculum (the most widespread Tai Chi in the world, though rarely taught in it's fullest sense) which includes: medical and martial qigong, hand forms, weapons forms and two person work for both hand and weapons which leads on to freestyle training; Simon is also a well-known expert in the full Cheng Man Ch'ing's Simplified Tai Chi syllabus.
Simon is one of the leading professional Tai Chi teachers in the UK, registered and insured as a Senior Instructor with the Tai Chi Union for Great Britain and UK representative of Master Sam Masich, hosting his regular UK seminars. Having studied Martial Arts - including Judo, Aikido, Jujitsu - since 1975, Simon took up Tai Chi in 1991 and has specialised in this and other internal arts since. Teaching in Brighton since 1995, many local teachers (and some from much further afield) have been taught and inspired by Simon or continue to study with us as part of their Tai Chi journey.
