Q
The Discipline

Tai Chi classes in Kew

— Taîjiquán · Chen and Yang style, taught in the traditional line

A practice, not a workout. Tai Chi is a sequence of slow, continuous movements performed with the muscles and joints relaxed, the mind quiet but alert. The legs act as the base, the waist as the axis, and the whole body moves as one. Though the pace is slow, every part of the body stays in motion.

Developed as a martial art and used in China for centuries to maintain health, it works on balance and joint mobility in a way few other practices do — which is why doctors and physiotherapists so often recommend it. It is part of a longer practice of longevity, built one session at a time.

Anyone can do it, at any age and any level of fitness. You should finish a session feeling relaxed and refreshed, not exerted. Find out more about the course →

What we train
i.
Balance
Weight shifts slowly from one leg to the other throughout every form. Few practices train balance as directly, or as safely.
ii.
Leg Strength
The legs carry the body through a long sequence of slow, bent-knee movement. Strength builds without impact or strain.
iii.
Joint Mobility
Every joint moves through its range, gently and repeatedly. Rigidity is exactly what the practice asks you to let go of.
iv.
Coordination
Hands, eyes, waist and legs work as one whole. The body learns to move in cooperation with itself again.
v.
Concentration & Awareness
The forms demand sustained attention to be performed correctly. Concentration and body awareness are trained alongside the movement.
vi.
Stress & Tension
Tai Chi releases emotional tension and reduces stress responses. You become more centred, and less subject to outside pressure.

The Evidence

Backed by research, not just tradition

The largest review of its kind, drawing on 1,744 randomised controlled trials and published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found high certainty evidence that tai chi:

Eases pain
Improves sleep
Supports mental health
Increases bone density
in osteopenia and osteoporosis
Best resultsThree sessions a week, over six months or more

A ten-week beginners course is where that practice starts.
