Self Defense

In this day and age I believe that every person both young and old should,

Have some sort of basic self defense because you will never know when you may be confronted by an attacker,

It may very well be a person trying to grab your handbag, or your wallet, or wanting to assault/attack you for

Know reason, and this is where I will teach you how to deal with a situation correctly. There are generally,

Two ways an attacter will attack, from the front grabbing your wrists,shoulders,neck, from behind grabbing,

Your waist,shoulders,neck, and your hair. Just a few simple steps we will show you how to correctly defend,

Yourself in any situation. Having self defense know how will give piece of mind to go where ever you like and,

Do what ever you want, and NOT having any worry in the back of your mind. This is called SELF CONFIDENCE.

Personal Training

Here I offer a personal 1-2-1 training service in all aspects of fitness, for all fitness levels for both men and women of any age,

Either in the comfort of your own home or the gym. Or even just to start off with road walking and build from there.

I also offer group personal training as well for sports teams, businesses, social groups ect.

(1) Find something which genuinely inspires you, it might be a particular activity or a reason.

(2) Set realistic targets- benchmarks will help you to keep going, but dont expect to be a size ten in two months, if your a size sixteen now.

(3) Give yourself rewards-treats will keep you going.

(4) Get support- having back-up when things get tough helps keep you on track

(5) Think positively-celebrate what you have achieved and don't dwell on what’s gone wrong.

I will help you achieve your goal, in a professional, friendly manor.

What is Taiji?

Taiji (Tai Chi) is one of the major internal styles contained in Wushu. It was originally created as a martial art and the movements of Taiji contain martial applications. It utilizes the ancient philosophy of Yin-Yang and the Five Element theories for its foundation and to establish its training principles. The experience of hundreds of years has shown that practicing Taiji can improve ones health, reduce tension, and cure a number of diseases such as high blood pressure, arthritis, asthma, stomach ailments, heart problems and nervousness. The same techniques that were capable of developing internal Qi for martial arts combat, also proved to be effective as life prolonging, healing, and rejuvenating exercises. Today, Taiji is best known by the millions of participants around the world for its health benefits.

There are many different styles of Taiji and a great number of Taiji Fist and weapon routines. However, the few major styles that have been recognized both in China and internationally are Yang, Chen, Sun and Wu style Taiji.
