As the clock struck ten, well Lisa’s phone told her it was, we all bowed and the set to mark World Tai Chi Day began. The sun was shining so 38 of us were able to do an enjoyable set outside. During the morning we also did two more sets along with some Chi Gong exercises. After tea break we were also treated to a demonstration by a number of our members who are independently learning the fan set. This was greatly appreciated, our thanks to them.
The venue for the event, Rivenhall Golf Centre at Witham , was ideal for our Tai Chi and for the buffet lunch that those of us who stayed for it enjoyed. A very enjoyable day.
Many thanks to all those members that helped make the day a success and especially Lorrie as the main organiser. Also thanks to of those of you that came to do the set.
Back to basics workshops:
We are going to continue running these for existing members of the Academy every three months in 2023 and 2024

Over the weekend of 17th and 18th September ’22 we held our first post-pandemic joint workshop in Maldon. We were able to welcome members, not just from the Essex Tai Chi Academy, but also other neighbouring Academies whose practice follows the same tradition of Mr Moy Lin Shin.
We were honoured to receive instruction from experienced tai-chiers Peter Lambiris and Darren Pryke, both of whom were students of Mr Moy during his lifetime.
The photo shows us all hard at work.
… and here we are at the end discussing what we’d learnt.
This weekend, instructors from Essex Tai Chi Academy along with instructors from three neighbouring tai chi academies met in Fen Drayton village hall to practice our tai chi together and to learn from each other. This is the first time we’ve been together since you-know-what. We were all able to polish up some rusty bits of our tai chi form and understanding which will help our students in the future.

As the battle against Covid 19 continues and most of us have been fully vaccinated, some of our tai chi classes are moving and we have a new one. See our classes list for changes at Chelmsford (was at Broomfield), Burnham on Crouch, and our new class at Wickham Bishops.
It’s over a month since most legal restrictions ended and we’re down to common sense. All classes are active indoors as listed in the relevant links at the side. We’re even planning a workshop-cum-get-together in September.
Ask your class instructor for details.
Take care out there and keep well!
With the move in May to step 3 of the Roadmap out of Covid we’ve been able to start our indoor classes again. There has been some re-organisation of classes with some classes being closed, others re-opened and a couple of new ones starting in June. Check the Classes menu at the side for more details – note that there are two sub-menus, one for Tai Chi classes and another for Lok Hup Ba Fa.
The new classes will be at Danbury on Thursday afternoons and at Broomfield on Monday evenings.
Our instructor ‘committee’ met recently at Oaklands park in Chelmsford to discuss our next steps as Covid recedes, and then had a practise session together afterwards…
