Julian atop Col D'Aubisque Summer 2011
Almost Two years ago I met Matthew Rochford and was introduced to Tai Chi
at Sharpham Barn, near Totnes in Devon, England. It was a wonderful time and
it started a journey for me that I want to share with you today.
Every day I get to find some real stillness and wipe the slate clean from all the
stress and thinking that goes with living our modern lives
I never thought it was possible to feel the energy in my body, and I may be deluding
myself, but when I practice my forms..I can feel it in my hands particularly and
as I move from shape to snap..Wonderful!
I’ve done many years going to the gym to give me a physical counterbalance
for all my thinking. The seeds of discovery were sown in my consciousness when I met an
Airline captain at the gym one day who said
” You might be exercising your body ,but I’m training my body and my mind”
In fact its so00000 much more..
It’s about balance in life..who wouldn’t want some of that?
Well after a long period of searching I found Matthew and my journey began.
I started learning the form, but it also led me to be a part of I-Chi
So its my real pleasure to introduce you to the online programme.
Matthew has created a wonderful resource and online class that brings Tai Chi to your house.
It follows a very traditional and ancient format, with fantastic lineage, so it’s totally authentic,
but its been filmed in a new way. It has classes, masterclasses and other resources to bring you
the highest quality learning experienced. Its all wrapped with the power of the Internet too
so there are forums, additional resources and so on. Brilliant!
Enough of my enthusiasm..
Here is an interview with Matthew so you get to meet him as he introduces the programme himself

History and Backrground of Tai Chi
I’ve been doing Tai Chi for a while now and it’s done great things for me..
I’ve even done my practice in some great places..atop a mountain, by the sea.
It’s like dancing with the beauty and energy of life. You should definitely try it!
