Zen Mindfulness - Sei Ki HeartTouch - Tai Chi Qi Gong

EasternPeace Tai Chi Zen

Yang Style Tai Chi for Health & Vitality

Anthony teaching Tai Chi in Thailand

The emphasis in this course will be on Tai Chi for inner calm, vitality and rejuvenation, not martial applications.

You'll learn a short sequence called Yang 6, which is enough to support your health and well-being. This will also prepare you to learn more advanced forms in future classes, if you wish.

I'll share videos for you to practice with, both during and after the training, so you can get the most out of our time together.

What I need from you is the commitment to practice regularly.

Tai Chi, more than many other health activities, requires daily practice, especially at the start. But it's definitely worth it - the benefits are amazing!

Our goal is for you to be able to practice Tai Chi on your own and continue doing it for the rest of your life.

About Anthony:

Anthony Fidler

I graduated from Cambridge University in 1992 with a degree in computer science & management along with a breakdown.

I worked for a couple of years first as a financial auditor, then a computer programmer before deciding to pack up my life and see what I could find in Asia to help my body relax and recover its vitality.

After travelling through India & Nepal for six months, I arrived in China, found a Yang Style Tai Chi teacher and never looked back.

I studied modern style Beijing 24, 42 Form and Chen 74 with a teacher called Wang Zhi Ping in China between 1997 and 2006. I lived there for a year and a half at one stage.

Over a few visits to Chenjiagou, I became a student of Chen Zhao Sen and learn his Chen Forms, but eventually settled with Yang Dong Bao from 2010 eventually learning both his Yang & Chen Small Circle Tai Chi.

I continued spending six months a year with Yang Dong Bao, learning 1-1 with him daily until I slowly reduced the study time to one month a year by 2014. My last visit was in the Autumn of 2018.

I taught Modern Yang Style Tai Chi between 2005-2007 in the UK, and then started again sharing Small Circle Style from 2014.
