Instructor: Tony Jones
Tony Jones is a member of the Chinese Internal Arts
Association and British Council for Chinese Martial Arts.
"Since a young age I have been interested in martial arts. I
initially learnt judo and progressed through various external arts
including Kung Fu and Karate. Throughout this time I was interested
in the internal martial arts and joined a class of Tai Chi Chuan."
"I have been practising Tai Chi Chuan Yang Style for 16
years now and have been teaching it for the past six years. I am
taught by Alan Baker and attend his classes for advanced tuition. In
April 2003 I visited Sangzhou in East China to study under Su
Yapling and Xing Wei Yung."
"I know the short form, long form, and sword form of the
Yang family. In China I learnt a Chen form."
As well as regular group classes, I offer private tuition and students find they are excellent
for improving your learning. One session can cover a lot of
detail. Whether you wish to catch up or go further on with your
form or work on a specific aspect of tai chi. I have found that
one to one work is very worth while. I have a private session
with my teacher on a regular bases. Sessions can take place at
my home or yours. Cost: £30:00 per session.
Also there are workshops in tai chi short form and sword form, held mainly during
the summer and where possible in the open air.
