If you live in Sutton Coldfield or in the surrounding towns and villages of Wishaw, Walmley, Perry Barr, Four Oaks, Pype Hayes, Wylde Green, Minworth, Wishaw, Aston, Little Aston, Mere Green, Curdworth, Water Orton, Hamstead or Boldmere, Coleshill this is the ideal way for you to try Tai Chi, or to extend your existing knowledge of this incredible exercise.
These classes include people of all abilities, and beginners are encouraged and made to feel very welcome.
We start with gentle warm-up exercises which relax the body and stretch the muscles. Then we usually move on to some Chi Kungs, which are short repeated exercises that combine motion and breath and help the Chi (life energy) to circulate around the body. Tai Chi is an exercise that works on your whole body, improving your fitness and balance whilst being gentle on your joints and muscles and helping you learn to relax.
Warm-ups at one of our Thursday Tai Chi classes in Sutton Coldfield
We teach the Yang style of Tai Chi, the most common style found in the west, so after warm-ups and Chi Kung work, we then move on to practice Yang Style Long Form. Don’t worry if you don’t know what that means, as we explain everything as we go along. The form is the fifteen-minute gentle flowing exercise often seen in Chinese parks and is what many in the West think of when they hear the words, Tai Chi. We take you through it step-by-step. We learn in pieces, and repeat repeatedly!
Here are some comments from class members:“What do I get out of going to this Tai Chi class? The main thing is a sense of relaxation while participating in physical exercise. Closely followed by a huge sense of companionship and humour shared among the group’s members!” – Kareen.
“I needed an exercise regime, but was too old to play football, too poor to afford gym fees, and too lazy to go jogging! During each class, I’d feel the tension drain out of my shoulders, and the week’s work-related garbage trickle out of my mind. I’ve also realised that the slow movements are ultimately a method for training the body to be able to fight without relying on muscular strength, and because of these classes I’m much better equipped to handle confrontation out in the wild world when it can’t be avoided.” – James
