Welcome to the North East Tai Chi Practice Group
This is a website dedicated to tai chi and in particular the tai chi as taught by the late Miss Rose Li to Anne Palmer.
This is a re-launched website and our focus is purely on the tai chi that we have learnt from Anne Palmer. There are regular classes held in Newcastle, Blaydon and now Wylam.
New for 2009 - New Beginners Course starting in Wylam. See Classes for more details.
We also have a Practice Group once a month where anyone is welcome as long as they have completed the long form.
The classes are friendly and everyone is treated with courtesy and kindness. The classes offer a great way to meet people and learn a new skill. The practice itself is not difficult and anyone can learn the tai chi form.
We have a Members Section where you can download articles and documents - to join please email: steve at netaichi.org.uk.
