Marple Tai Chi Club

Marple Tai Chi Club, located in Dukinfield, is a Tai Chi school offering courses and classes suitable for all ages and abilities. Tai Chi, originally from China and created by a Taoist Monk in the 12th Century, is a gentle and soft exercise that promotes overall health and wellbeing.

The practise of Tai Chi is best enjoyed outdoors, in the morning or evening, alongside natural sources of energy such as the sea or a nearby waterfall. It is a relaxing and rejuvenating exercise that has numerous health benefits. As more research is conducted, the advantages of Tai Chi are being uncovered, making it an increasingly popular form of exercise for people of all ages and abilities.

At Marple Tai Chi Club, students learn the fluid and precise movements of Tai Chi, allowing them to connect with their body's natural energy. The slow and soft movements improve balance, coordination, and overall health. Additionally, the school offers Chi Kung classes, which focus on beautiful movements and exercises that align with the breath and energy pathways of ancient Chinese Traditional Medicine.

Meditation is also a key component of the practise at Marple Tai Chi Club. Students are encouraged to focus on their breath and calm their minds, reducing stress and promoting calmness and peace. By visualising the beauty in nature, practitioners can experience deep relaxation and dissolve stress.

Richard, the head instructor at Marple Tai Chi Club, discovered Tai Chi and Chi Kung by accident during his search to learn Kung Fu. He soon realised the incredible health benefits of these practises, as they improved his sleep, focus, and overall physical condition. Having practised Tai Chi and Chi Kung since 1992, Richard is passionate about sharing the benefits with others.
