This weekend, instructors from Essex Tai Chi Academy along with instructors from three neighbouring tai chi academies met in Fen Drayton village hall to practice our tai chi together and to learn from each other. This is the first time we’ve been together since you-know-what. We were all able to polish up some rusty bits of our tai chi form and understanding which will help our students in the future.

As the battle against Covid 19 continues and most of us have been fully vaccinated, some of our tai chi classes are moving and we have a new one. See our classes list for changes at Chelmsford (was at Broomfield), Burnham on Crouch, and our new class at Wickham Bishops.
It’s over a month since most legal restrictions ended and we’re down to common sense. All classes are active indoors as listed in the relevant links at the side. We’re even planning a workshop-cum-get-together in September.
Ask your class instructor for details.
Take care out there and keep well!
With the move in May to step 3 of the Roadmap out of Covid we’ve been able to start our indoor classes again. There has been some re-organisation of classes with some classes being closed, others re-opened and a couple of new ones starting in June. Check the Classes menu at the side for more details – note that there are two sub-menus, one for Tai Chi classes and another for Lok Hup Ba Fa.
The new classes will be at Danbury on Thursday afternoons and at Broomfield on Monday evenings.
Our instructor ‘committee’ met recently at Oaklands park in Chelmsford to discuss our next steps as Covid recedes, and then had a practise session together afterwards…
The lockdown put paid to our New Year plans, but thanks to most people’s patience and the wonderful vaccines we’ll be in a position to resume our cautious restarting of our outdoor activities as of 29th March, 2021.
NB. please contact the intructor before you attend to make sure there’s no overcrowding.
If you’ve been trying to contact the Essex Tai Chi Academy using the phone number at the bottom of the web page and got no reply, we apologise.
The correct number is now shown.
It feels like lockdown is now gradually lifting and some of us are now meeting up for outdoor and socially distanced practice sessions. We know many others are still shielding either themselves or their partners and are unable to join these sessions. So, we will continue to produce our fortnightly News Sheet to support all our members who are still practising at home, indoors or in the garden. The classes may be on hold, but our Academy is not.
