As an introductory offer, Mountain River charges £90
for the first two complete calendar months of weekly tuition. Classes
run at the same time and place each week. For those that miss any class
there is a 'free' catch-up class once a month on a Saturday morning.
Potential students may watch any Tuesday evening class between 7:15pm
and 8:15pm at The
Friendship Club in Chiswick or any Monday in Richmond.
To be fair to all, I coach each
class. As you will appreciate working in tight knit groups is to your
benefit, so I limit new beginners groups size. I used to start new
students monthly, however I saw this lead to fragmented classes. Worse
some students would miss important lessons, constantly feeling
uncomfortable. Mountain River Tai Chi is not modular based, but an
incremental learning path, following traditional Chinese teaching
methods. I respect this Art so much that I will not compromise this
tried and tested method. If you believe that Tai Chi is for you, and
that Mountain River Tai Chi is the correct path to follow, I am sure
you will understand.
No special clothing is needed, simply wear
loose clothes that are comfortable. Flat soled shoes, e.g. Chinese
slippers, are recommended footwear; although socks are fine. There is
space to change, for those coming direct from work etc., and a lot of
students bring water to drink although there is tap water available.
Mountain River Tai Chi is based in West London,

Additionally there are normally spaces on a Wednesday Morning at 10am
