In addition to our weekly schedule of classes Master Hine is offering a range of courses which will take place once a month or once every two months. These are a continuing set of courses where students can come along every month (or every other month) to be trained, whilst others are one off opportunities to learn new skills. These workshops are designed to allow our existing students to sample some of the arts available within Hine Tai Chi Schools and to let members of the public, who cannot commit to a weekly schedule, train in traditional Chinese arts.

Tai Chi Sword Seminar (Members Only)

We are currently offering two hour seminars to our existing members who wish to learn the traditional Tai Chi sword forms under the direction of Master Hine.

The first sword to be learned is the double edged Tai Chi sword or Jian once this sword has been learned students can then move onto the Tai Chi broadsword or Dao form.

Sections 1 to 8 of the Sword and Polishers are from 1 to 3pm. Broadsword is from 3.30 to 5.30pm.
