Bright moon's teacher
I have been teaching classes in sports centres, within the community and in schools since 1998. In late 2006 I became more focussed on Tai Chi and have studied the Yang style since then – 8 step, 16 step, 24 step and a 24 step compact form plus 16 and 32 step sword forms. I have also studied the Sun Style Forms - 13 and 38 forms plus the Sun short sword form. I have travelled to China with on several occasions studying with Master Tary Yip, Master Faye Yip and Professor Li Deyin. I have also studied several times with Taoist Monk Master Zhang in the Wudang Mountains. I continue to study with the Deyin Institute in the UK and with the British Health Qigong® Association. I am an Advanced Instructor Member of the International Taiji and Qigong Federation.
