SRK Shi Kon Tai Chi

World Tai Chi & Qi Gong Day is tomorrow!

On Saturday 25th April, from 10am local time, Tai Chi and Qi Gong players all over the world will be engaged in practice to create a wave of breath and movement around the globe!

Luckily our class already falls nicely into that timeframe, so as we practice tomorrow (10:15am as usual), know that thousands of people all around the UK will be in classes simultaneously.

This will continue around the world throughout the day as each time zone reaches 10am - how special is that!

See you in the morning!

Thanks to my amazing assistant Instructor team for covering classes last Saturday so I could attend this excellent seminar on Chinese Broadsword taught by Mike Reynolds 🙏🙏🙏

I am equally thrilled and disappointed to announce that our 10:15am class on Saturdays in Grays is currently full.

Thrilled, because it’s such fun teaching 30 of you, and I’m sure you’ll agree the atmosphere is so friendly, positive and productive.

Disappointed, because there are always enquiries coming in for that class, and as much as I would love to fit in everyone, I and the team can’t effectively teach more than 30 at a time.

So please note, during April, any new enquiries for the Saturday class will be redirected to the Wickford weekday classes, (see the image above for details) or placed on a waiting list.

For longer term students at this class, you may wish to consider moving to the Intermediate session at 11:30-12:30pm. Chat to me for details.

Keep an eye on Evolve Sound Retreats, Selina will be announcing Sound Bath dates for 2026 soon.

What an amazing end to the working year!

Our SRK club party last weekend, energetic and festive Karate classes in the evenings, calm and flowing Tai Chi in the days, several lunches/coffee/pub meet ups with friends and students, hosting a beautiful Sound Bath delivered by the wonderful Selina Goldby of Evolve Sounds Retreats, and attending my final Shi Kon seminar of the year today.

It’s time now to slow down, reflect, and enjoy the twinkles and sparkles of the the season with my family.

I wish you all a very merry, calm and bright Christmas, and a hopeful and purposeful New Year.

Autumn in my garden. I love this time of year for the transient colours and low, soft light. These pictures were taken last week, and today I see most of the colours have drained and the leaves dropped, ready for their next beautiful stage in life. Nothing is permanent, but also nothing is gone forever.

Thank you to everyone who attended my Seminar yesterday; an exploration of Application using the Yang Chen Fu form.

Had to have the usual ‘police line up’ style pic at the end 😆

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and SRK Karate are helping to raise awareness, and funds, to support two cancer charities by swapping our regular karate belts for PINK BELTS.

Not to be outdone, Assistant SRK Tai Chi Instructor Wendy bought herself a pink belt and is learning how to tie it 🤗

Just finished my first Monday Morning Tai Chi class in the Wick Community Centre.

Small beginnings are good, it gives me time to get used to the new space. 😃
