We encompass a wide range of traditional Chinese arts, including Chi Kung, but our main art is Cheng Man Ching-style Tai Chi.

The parent Association runs classes throughout Europe and holds regular seminars with visiting Masters from the Far East.

The Association was established in 1987 by its Chief Instructor, Nigel Sutton, at the request of his teacher Tan Ching Ngee of Singapore. The purpose of the Association is to promote and research Tai Chi Chuan and other Chinese martial arts.

Nigel is the author of several books on Tai Chi Chuan, and now lives in Malaysia where he continues to study and write.

Form
Watch mesmerised in silence
As the white crane spreads its wings
With grace embrace the tiger
As the Chinese music sings

Roll back in perfect balance
Step forward seven stars
Join this meditation
Feel the inner peace that's ours

Step back, repulse the monkey
And see the snake creep down
Take a look at all our faces
Complete, serene without a frown

With love our masters guide us
Honoured true disciples we
To cross hands, apparent close up
Her Tai Chi
