About
Mark, the organiser of The Tai Chi Club, has been leading an impressive programme right here in Ripley, UK. Catering to sports enthusiasts, his classes focus on tai chi and qi gong, particularly the Yang Style.
With a team of certified instructors, The Tai Chi Club offers sessions tailored to different skill levels. You can join their in-person classes at the Greenwich Community Centre in Ripley or the Riddings Community Centre in Alfreton, or even participate online with their Zoom classes for Qi Gong workouts.
Open to everyone, of any age or fitness level, The Tai Chi Club encourages members to work within their comfort zones. Regular training promises improvements in balance, coordination, and overall fitness. Their youngest member is just 16, while their oldest is over 80, proving that age is no barrier.
The club not only offers regular sessions but also workshops and a wealth of online resources. Visit their website for articles, videos, and reading materials to supplement your learning. They follow guidelines from the Tai Chi Union of Great Britain, ensuring top-quality instruction and certification.
Safety and proper technique are key priorities for Mark and his team. Each instructor maintains their own insurance and upholds professional standards during classes. For any questions about financials or specific sessions, you can directly contact the instructor in charge.
In addition, they offer a useful read, “Reading Qi Gong 14 Postures,” available on Amazon Kindle – a handy guide to mastering Chinese breathing techniques.
Join Mark at The Tai Chi Club for a well-rounded and accessible martial arts experience, grounded in tried-and-true methods and a supportive community.
