World Tai Chi Day 2024

ETCA Admin2 | April 29, 2024 |

In spite of the overcast, damp ,cold weather, over 30 of us met a Maldon Promenade Park to perform a set at 10.00 a.m. for World Tai Chi Day. Although the ground was somewhat uneven in places we completed the set without any mishaps, just some shuffling of feet. The forecast rain showers held off.  Afterwards a number of us went for coffee or in my case hot chocolate.

The Birchanger class, pictured, who were unable to join us at Maldon performed a set locally.

The day continued with the customary Chinese take-away from Lian. A visit from a New Year Dragon, which gave us pleasure and amusement, with a dance to the rhythm of the drums.

World Tai Chi Day 29th April 2023

ETCA Admin2 | May 3, 2023 |

As the clock struck ten, well Lisa’s phone told her it was, we all bowed and the set to mark World Tai Chi Day began.  The sun was shining so 38 of us were able to do an enjoyable set outside.  During the morning we also did two more sets along with some Chi Gong exercises.  After tea break we were also treated to a demonstration by a number of our members who are independently learning the fan set. This was greatly appreciated, our thanks to them.

The venue for the event, Rivenhall Golf Centre at Witham , was ideal for our Tai Chi and for the buffet lunch that those of us who stayed for it enjoyed.  A very enjoyable day.

Many thanks to all those members that helped make the day a success and especially Lorrie as the main organiser. Also thanks to of those of you that came to do the set.

Joint weekend workshop a success

ETCA web admin | October 4, 2022 |

Over the weekend of 17th and 18th September ’22 we held our first post-pandemic joint workshop in Maldon. We were able to welcome members, not just from the Essex Tai Chi Academy, but also other neighbouring Academies whose practice follows the same tradition of Mr Moy Lin Shin.

We were honoured to receive instruction from experienced tai-chiers Peter Lambiris and Darren Pryke, both of whom were students of Mr Moy during his lifetime.

The photo shows us all hard at work.

… and here we are at the end discussing what we’d learnt.
