"Tai chi is about changing our internal environment so that life becomes a joy to live and not a burden to drag into old age and death. It is about helping your body to let go of the past and your mind to slow down and cease churning. Tai chi encourages your internal focus to shift toward cherishing and remembering all that is wonderful in your life. It predisposes you to look forward to ways to make life better, rather than remembering how unsatisfying it has been.

The Bien Hua Tai Chi Association endeavours to provide the individual with opportunities to explore for themselves the Tai Chi principles of harmony, interconnectedness & finding your natural way.

We seek to establish a deeper connection between the mind, the body & the breath, aiming to combine & unify them in order to cultivate physical and psychological accord. We also wish to provide the student with an understanding of the martial principles & techniques that underpin the Tai Chi forms, should they wish to do so.

There should be no physical barriers to obtaining the benefits that Tai Chi can offer. The Bien Hua Tai Chi Association acknowledges that each individual will have their own strengths & limitations & classes are specifically directed to promote inclusive learning. We have no affiliation to any belief system or religion & welcome all members of the public.

Tai Chi is not always as easy as it may look & an exploration into the martial aspects can require significant physical & mental demands. However, at the Bien Hua Tai Chi Association we recognize that Tai Chi can be many different things to many different people & this is a principle we strongly promote. Tai Chi can be a life-long, potentially unending pursuit, but it offers a rich abundance of rewards for those who walk along its path!

“The Perfect Exercise.” (Time Magazine)

We teach the art in its entirety, focusing on an equal balance between the meditative & health improvement aspects of Tai Chi & Chi Kung (“energy work”), as well as its martial & self defence aspects. However, we fully encourage & promote the individuals choice to explore any aspect they are interested in & we adapt our teaching & training accordingly.

We aim to provide value for money & realistic costs, so there are no advance payments or hidden fees of any kind. There are no belt systems or expensive grading ceremonies, nor any fancy uniforms or equipment to be purchased from us - you simply turn up & pay on the day. Classes are fun and friendly and always engaging. Our interest lies solely in teaching quality Tai Chi for all to enjoy!

 There is much written about the sometimes startling benefits to be gained from the practice of Tai Chi & Chi Kung. Some benefits are more tangible than others & some are false. Here at the Bien Hua Tai Chi Association we can only attest to the fact that continuous regular practice will strengthen your body, your mind & your spirit & encourage a naturalness of being. Invariably, our classes will introduce you to new & interesting people, teach you how to defend yourself & others, & hopefully prove to be an enjoyable learning experience!

The foundation practice of the Bien Hua Tai Chi Association is rooted in a 37 Posture Yang Family style of Tai Chi Chuan, Standing Post Chi Kung (Zhan Zhuang) & Pushing Hands (Tui Shou - a sensitivity training exercise).

Tai Chi relaxes you, and uplifts you. It refreshes your mind, and energises your body. It soothes your heart, and enriches your soul. (Faye Li Yip)
