I commenced the class very stiff, after long illness and hospital stay, and found it beneficial in giving me back flexibility and better health. James is an understanding teacher, and his Taiji & Qigong classes help me to restore my mind and body balance.

I have been attending James Drew's Taiji classes for a number of years at the Abbey community centre. I love the classes for their variety and their attention to detail. We don't just learn to go through the moves of the Taiji form, but we learn also what these moves mean and how we can improve them. Over the years I have found that each move has so many intricate details, that it is impossible to get tired of studying them. James also teaches a variety of health improving Qi Gong forms, including for the digestion, the cardiovascular system, the heart, the liver and the kidneys. They are all fun to do and have the added benefit of improving our health even more.

I continue to learn so much in every class- especially about my own joints and how to ensure I can move in a safe way. Enormously beneficial for anyone at any age and any level of fitness. He teaches us how to be patient with gaining strength and flexibility. James is incredibly experienced and is able to not only teach us each move but also help our understanding with its connection to the martial arts

James has a depth of knowledge and experience and is patient and a good communicator. He also has a good sense of humour, which makes his classes very enjoyable. These qualities all make James an excellent tai chi teacher whatever your level.
