WELCOME TO CRYSTAL T’AI CHI
Crystal’s ‘signature’ style is Sun.

I formed Crystal T’ai Chi in 2001 to share my experiences of many years of practising T’ai Chi for my own health and well-being with all ages and abilities.

Please note: Due to a reduction in class hours since covid, we are no longer officially registered teachers for Dr Paul’s proprietary Health Forms and therefore are not allowed to teach the excellent applications listed below. However Trevor & Senior Instructor Joan taught them for 16 years, enabling us to apply the empathy and benefits acquired to all our subsequent teaching.

T’ai Chi for Energy

Other styles and forms, including Hao Wu are practised for our own improvement & enjoyment

Master Trevor has practised T’ai Chi for over 35 years initially practising Yang Style. He has taught since 2001 both locally and nationally after training as an instructor under Dr Paul Lam in UK & US. He is an Affiliated Master Instructor for AMAA (Ability Martial Arts Association) and a member of the Tai Chi Union of Great Britain. He is also a member of the Deyin Taijiquan Institute where he trained under Masters Faye & Tary Yip & Prof. Li Deyin in traditional Sun style and Sword and Sabre forms, and was endorsed as a Deyin Sun Style Instructor in 2011.

For 16 years both he and Senior Instructor Joan, were certified teachers for the gentle modified Sun style form T’ai Chi for Health forms developed by the internationally acclaimed, Dr Paul Lam to help people suffering from Arthritis and other chronic conditions.

We no longer teach Dr Lam’s modified forms for the less able, but for still retain the empathy and benefits of his excellent forms when teaching traditional form in depth, individually adapting where/if necessary for ‘all ages & ability’.

Dr Lam’s modified health forms for arthritis, back pain, diabetes, osteoporosis and energy have the support of organisation such as the Arthritis Foundations of Australia, USA and UK as safe, effective, and easy-to-learn programs.

All sessions are supplemented by powerful but relaxing Qi Gong exercises.

We teach traditional T’ai Chi in depth but NOT as an offensive or defensive martial art Our passion is to introduce people of any age, gender or fitness level to a wonderful source of relaxation and stress relief, as well as to the development of physical and psychological well-being.
