Any one know of anywhere is sheffield that i would be able to start tai chi?

thankyou

Hi there.

Do search for Tai chi on this site, I'm sure classes have been mentioned a few times.

Have a look at the source at meadowhall

I'm looking for a good friendly tai chi class for beginners.....does anyone know of one?

i study with david barrow who runs wu style tai chi classes at kingfield hall, brincliffe crescent, off psalter lane

mon, tues & thurs @ 7pm - beginners welcome

the class has been established for over 25 years and is a good source of wu style tai chi - david and some assistant instructors regularly travel to study with master ma, grandmaster of wu style (who moved to holland some years back and visits us to teach every year)

i recommend coming to our class if you want to learn tai chi in sheffield

:D

drapers dance centre - beighton.
dont know more than that.

Try U sport on Northumberland Road near weston park hospital they do classes for beginners on mondays you don't need to be a member i think it is about £4.

I did Tai Chi some years ago with David Barrow - enjoyed it immensley but stopped when I broke my foot in a silly accident in, of all places, a hospital car park. Nothing to do with the Tai Chi, I should add.

As my foot couldn't bear weight for several months I stopped going - but while I was doing it it was great.

I've occasionally thought about doing it again but as I now have a dodgy knee to go with the dodgy foot, I might be pushing my luck!

So, I can definitely recommend that course!

there was a point in my life when my knees were a bit broken and the only time i could bend my knees and raise them to waist height was just after doing tai chi

That wasn't thai-related was it :suspect:

Yes tai chi should be very good for knee strength and the muscles around them.

Of course it depends on the type of knee injury(get med advice) and that it is taught correctly (alignments of joints are correct in postures and gung exercises are observed) and that it is practiced regularly.

Within a few months of starting I noticed a change in the size and tone of the muscles round knees and thighs and after doing the nei-gung exercises for a few months even had to get rid of a couple of pairs of jeans.

I used to go here too and would thoroughly recommend it. I'd really like to start going again if I can manage to find some spare time.
