Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, Hand of the Wind Tai Chi and Kung Fu welcomes individuals of all ages and levels of physical fitness.
Tai Chi, also known as Taiji, Tai Chi Chuan or Taijiquan, is a beautiful sequence of flowing movements that originated as a martial art but is now recognised for its numerous health benefits and ability to induce relaxation. At Hand of the Wind Tai Chi and Kung Fu, students practise the Lee Family Style of Tai Chi, which was brought to the UK by Chan Kam Lee in the 1930s and popularised by Chee Soo in the 20th century.
In addition to Tai Chi, the club also offers Qigong exercises. Qigong is a comprehensive system of Chinese exercise that combines movements and breathing techniques to improve specific aspects of health, following the principles of Chinese Medicine. Hand of the Wind Tai Chi and Kung Fu focuses on the Lee Family Taoyin Qigong and Taiji Qigong in their classes, ensuring a holistic approach to health and well-being.
Classes at Hand of the Wind Tai Chi and Kung Fu are taught by Conrad Robinson, a highly experienced Senior Instructor with the Tai Chi and Qigong Union for Great Britain. Conrad has been training in the Lee Family Internal Arts since 1993 and founded Hand of the Wind Taijiquan in 2008 with the aim of promoting these traditional arts.
The club's classes primarily focus on the health and relaxation aspects of the Lee Family Style, but for those interested in learning the martial aspects, martial classes are available at Paignton Tai Chi Studio. This comprehensive curriculum includes Tai Chi, Qigong, Taoist Yoga, and martial training, providing students with a well-rounded and holistic approach to the Lee Family Style.
