Joint instructors’ workshop – a post-Covid first

ETCA web admin | August 8, 2022 |

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.

Roadmap step 3 and restarting our classes

ETCA web admin | June 2, 2021 |

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…

“Strum the Peipa”
“Fan penetrates through back”
“Separate foot to the Right”

A Unique World Tai Chi Day

ETCA Admin2 | May 9, 2020 |

At 10.00 on Saturday 25th April, we were due to meet at Great Totham to celebrate with a Tai Chi set, along with Tai Chi’ers around the world.  However as this year, we are subject to social distancing, plans had to be altered and members marked the occasion in their own homes and gardens.

We’ll make up for it next year!!

Here’s some pictures.
