RaWCLIFFE Tai Chi Beginners
The Friday evening classes at Rawcliffe are part of a progressive learning course, therefore regular attendance is recommended. If you can't attend regularly or want a more casual pay-when-you-come class, see Beal or Kellington classes.
Rawcliffe fees are paid half-termly at £8 x the number of classes in any half term (usually 6).
There is no requirement to renew for further half-term blocks should you wish to leave the class.
If you are taking a holiday / are unwell and want to return to the class, the class fee applies during your absence
We stop in most school holidays, although local education authority dates may vary a little from our own
New beginners can book the remaining 3 classes of block 1 via the button below. We will confirm your booking within 24 hours via the email address you supply on the booking form - make sure you enter it correctly and keep an eye on your junk mail just in case.
Rawcliffe Beginner Class Content
Chen Taiji Silk Reeling
Beginners and Improvers will be introduced to Chen Style Silk Reeling Exercises in the 2025 Autumn Term in preparation for learning a Chen Taiji form (Sequence).
Silk Reeling is the foundation way of movement in Chen Style Taiji , which everything else in Chen Taiji is built upon. It must be understood and correctly trained into the body if the pratitioner is to have true Taiji/ Tai Chi skill
We do not recommend that you select videos at chance from you Tube to follow as there is so much incorrect tai chi on that platform and you may be training an incorrect technique. However you can currently click the pic of Cherry for a video of Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei's silk reeling exercises and follow those. Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei is a Chen family descendant and a current lineage holder of Chen Style tai chi. He is Cherry's teacher's teacher, with whom Cherry's teacher lived and trained with, in the traditional Chinese way of learning Taiji, from the age of 11.
Cherry will produce some tutorial videos of Silk Reeling soon. These will be added to the video channel - see Qigong section below for details on this
QIGONG
We will also be covering Qigong/ChiKung exercises.
The sets we are covering in class this term are:
Daoyin Yang Sheng Gong
and then
Yi Jin Jing Health Qigong
The term 'Qigong' covers a VAST spectrum of exercises, 5000 year's worth in fact so stumbling across the right video performed correctly on you tube is highly unlikely and is not recommended.
Our Video Channel
For home practice we recommend that you subscribe to the East Riding Tai Chi video library .
There are individual tutorial videos for each Qigong movement which you'll learn in class, where Cherry explains each movement in detail as she demonstrates, with follow-me front and back views.
How to Access the Videos
There is a small fee to view our video tutorial channel. This is £10 per month for people who DON'T attend our classes, but if you have a live class subscription you will receive TWO calendar months video access for the £10 fee, thus giving you half-price access. (eg if you subscribe on say 12th October, you will receive the password(s) for the remainder of October and all of November.
Unlike YouTube videos, our channel is hosted on a platform called Vimeo and is advert-free, so nothing will interrupt your practice.
The password is provided within 24 hours after subscribing to the video channel.
