Chiron China Trip

Wednesday 31 January 2007 at 8:32 pm Union Instructor and Promotions & Publicity Officer Ronnie Robinson tells us of the China Trip he is organising:

Following a recent trip to China (organised by Faye Li Yip), where we visited the Shaolin Temple and Chen Village, I have asked Faye to create an China trip to allow tai chi and chi kung students to open the door to this uniquely fascinating country and, in partiular, aspects of interest to tai chi and/or chi kung practitioners.

Union Shop

Sunday 07 January 2007 at 06:57 am The shop on the site has be updated with quite a few new items. The Union Promotions & Publicity Officer Ronnie Robinson explains:

The Tai Chi Union website is for many the main point of contact when looking for information about tai chi and teachers in the UK. In order to increase our service, both to the general public, and to our members, we have launched an online shopping presence which will also generate some increased revenue for the Union.



Initially we have included a limited range of products and, depending on its success we will add more items in due course. Priority for material will be given to TCUGB instructor members who have books, DVDs or products related to our arts. If you have something that you feel should be included please contact Ronnie Robinson who will send you a copy of our terms and conditions.

 

Tai Chi notes

Wednesday 03 January 2007 at 08:28 am Union Instructor Ralph Jones wrote to tell us of his move to Taiwan. After updating his entry on the site I checked out his website http://www.realtaichi.com/ where he is blogging his visit. Ralph told me:

My intention in China and Taiwan is to visit as many Internal Martial Arts masters as I can and hopefully befriend some of them and carry

out some interviews etc later on. We plan to be here for 3 to 5 years, so should be able to compile a lot of material.

As well as blogging his Tai Chi note Ralph is also blogging at Ilha Formosan Life subtitled An opportunity to record some of our experiences as my wife and I attempt to settle in Asia
