These ancient movements are performed with utter slowness and attention. Practised in China for hundreds of years they are very relevant for today's turbulent world.

The movements are attractive to watch yet they are not really intended for demonstration. Indeed, they form a meditative movement exercise for the essential benefit of the practiser. Improved health, fluidity of action, calmness and tranquillity, balance and strength come from practising T'ai Chi.

Once learnt it can be done anywhere where there is a few yards of space, just for two ten-minute periods each day.

To begin learning T'ai Chi, the Short Form of 65 movements is the best and simplest way. This "form", devised by Cheng Man-Ching from the Long Form of 150 movements, is both economical and perfect in itself. It is now well established and practised world-wide. It embodies the essence of T'ai Chi in the unity of the flowing action and the development of 'centredness'. Later, for those who have time for it, the Long Form and also forms working with a partner can be learnt.

Robin John Simmons has been working with T'ai Chi since 1969. He has had a number of teachers mainly stemming from the Cheng Man-Ching/T.T. Liang line including Dr. Chi Chiang Tao. He has taught people of all ages and backgrounds, including well-known TV and film stars, he has run large group classes and also individual sessions. Anyone can learn to tune in to the quietness and inner calm the practise of T'ai Chi brings. At present Robin is only giving individual sessions in Switzerland.
