I thought it would be useful to reflect on my own 30-year+ journey with Tai Chi Chuan. It's not just a tale of movements and forms but a profound transformation that has shaped the essence of Relax 'n Renew Tai Chi.

Three decades ago, I delved into the world of Tai Chi, already holding a black belt in Karate. Intrigued by the beauty of the oriental arts, I explored Zen Buddhism, Kendo, and the healing practices of Chinese medicine. Fate smiled upon me when a friend in the Karate club introduced me to Mr. Kei, a Tai Chi master visiting for an extended stay.

Mr. Kei's teaching style was rooted in tradition – minimal talking, relentless repetition. Every day at 6am, without fail, we practiced for 1.5 hours. This discipline was the crucible in which my Tai Chi journey began.

After rigorous training, Mr. Kei entrusted me to share the art. In the late '90s, I founded my first Tai Chi club in Fareham, Hampshire.

The beauty of Tai Chi Chuan lies not in reaching a destination but in the continuous journey of self-discovery. I've devoted myself to constant study, deepening my skills, expanding my knowledge and understanding. Yet, the form continues to unveil new nuances and layers, reminding me that growth is perpetual.

At Relax 'n Renew Tai Chi, we invite you to join this journey – a journey of balance, harmony, and self-discovery. The essence of Tai Chi is not just in the movements but in the transformation it brings to our lives.

Let's embark on this path of tranquillity and renewal together.
