Bristol Chen Tai Chi Association

Classes in Bristol and Weston

Come along to any of our classes – We welcome new beginners into the class at the start of every month, and ask you to pay for a month – from then on the class is run as a drop in class!

Lessons are mixed ability. Mark does group warm ups, standing meditation and simple silk reeling exercises with the whole group. The class then divides up depending on interest, ability and/or issues we are working on. Each small group is supported by senior students who have been helping Mark teach for many years (some as long as 30!) – while Mark circulates to support each group and ensure each student is getting what they personally need.

Our unique approach allows everyone to have an experience finely adjusted to meet their interests and requirements – so whether you are starting with a severe illness or disability, or are a serious Martial Artist looking to develop your technique to release internal power – we can cater to you as an individual!

After you have committed to your first month,  classes can then paid for on the day – give us a call or an email to find out more about how the classes work
