My teacher Mark Raudva will be running the annual weeklong summer workshop again this year in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, UK, from 19th-25th July 2025. All are welcome, get in touch with him here.
If you are looking for the Great River Taichi USA school, run by the excellent Barbara Davis, it is no longer at this web address. Although we are not affiliated with them, and chose our name in 2002 from the T’ai Chi Classics independently, we have huge respect for Barbara’s work and books, and have been in friendly communication over the years, having a mutual friend in Master Sam Masich. If you are in Canada or one of the international places he teaches, I highly recommend studying with Sam.
If you are in Bournemouth or Exeter and want to study a more vigorous and overtly martial lineage of Yang Style T’ai Chi I recommend contacting my dear T’ai Chi brother Duncan Price for his weekly class in Southbourne and his 121s in Exeter. He also organises the very friendly, all-styles, SW England push hands meet ups, which run each month. For all of these, details are here.
I will be moving to the north of England in the autumn of 2025 and will start teaching in person classes again as soon as I can find a venue. More details in October.
Keep an eye out here for our updates coming soon. Best wishes for 2025, Caroline Ross, Principal and founder Great River T’ai Chi.
