YMAA OrientSport

Classes are fun in a relaxing atmosphere. Zibi is a friendly teacher who explains and coaches in a calm manner. There is an emphasis on quality over quantity; students are not rushed through a predetermined curriculum in order to be presented with a certificate, but instead encouraged to develop mastery of the forms they are being taught. It is difficult to find Tai Chi classes where the sequence, weapons and pushing hands are taught with a strong foundation. Highly recommend.

Zibi is a great instructor and very patient. The students in the class are welcoming and encouraging, supporting newcomers to learn the moves. I have wanted to learn Tai Chi for years and am so glad I found this class. Zibi explains the purpose of each move so that we understand what we are trying to achieve. As well as exercising, I come away from the sessions feeling relaxed and balanced. Would highly recommend!

I was lucky to train for several years at Ealing YMAA before moving from the area. After years of practice with another school, Zibis classes were a revelation. The instruction is clear and every movement is taught from the point of view of its practical martial application. This method ensures a deeper understanding of each technique. Classes are varied with Taiji Ball, Qigong, Pushing Hands, partner work and plenty more. YMAA is international so theres the opportunity to participate in training camps in Poland, France, Portugal as well as elsewhere in the UK. Zibi is a friendly, highly skilled, dedicated teacher and I would strongly recommend his classes, whether youre new to Taiji or already have some experience.

In the time I attended the classes with YMAA Orientsport, my knowledge and understanding of Tai Chi and Kung Fu grew exponentially. Highly recommend. The instruction is great and the company is wonderful.
