Chris and James from the Cornwall Tai Chi clubs were interviewed by Tiffany Truscott for BBC Radio Cornwall at their Truro studios last night. They were talking about Tai Chi and how they came into it and the role it has taken on in their lives as students and teachers.
Chris first started Tai Chi in Leamington Spa at Chee Soo’s class when he was a Philosophy undergraduate at Warwick University. He opened his first club there for the University of Warwick students union which went on to become a popular club for many years. Students from this club went on to set up clubs in their own towns after leaving Warwick. Chris also taught in Leamington Spa, Coventry, Birmingham, and Stratford-upon-Avon. When he moved down to Cornwall in 2010 he taught in Penzance, Heartlands, St Just, St Ives, Helston, and Falmouth.
James took up Tai Chi after a traumatic road accident as a way to aid his recovery. Now he has his own class in his hometown of St Agnes in Cornwall.
