Please forgive my informality. I don't want to indulge in trying to sell myself to you. This is what I am, this is what I do - and you're intelligent enough to make up your own mind. I was born in Norwich in 1951. Pursuing a lifelong love of all things Eastern led me to study the music, art, literature, culture, history and philosophy of India, Tibet and China. I began my Tai Chi & Qigong studies in the 1980's, starting with the Yang style and the 24 Step Taiji and the Taiji Qigong exercises. After meeting Master Michael Tse (Tse Wei Jing) in 1989 I began to learn the Chen style of Tai Chi as well as the Dayan (wild goose) system of qigong and Chun Yuen, an offshoot of Northern Shaolin kung fu.

After spending twenty years with the Tse Centre I left in 2009 to develop and pursue my own ideas. This led to the formation of the Fei-Yan (Flying Swallow) styles of Qigong and Kung Fu, based on profound traditional principles and practices. I still teach the Chen style of Tai Chi. Though I strive for a high standard in the three skills of Chen Taiji, Fei-Yan Qigong and Fei-Yan Quan, nothing is forced. I try and ensure that all my classes take place in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. There is always a lot of laughter. The classes also reflect a healthy balance of young, old, male, female, fit and not quite so fit practitioners!
