 The Home of the Wu Chian-Chuan School

The Original Wu Style Tai Chi specialises in providing the highest quality Tai Chi in Europe.

                A quality based on:

  • Leading-edge clinical research into the health benefits of Tai Chi practice 
  • Retention of the precise and synchronised movements of the original forms
  • Supervision from China, and being the first Tai Chi school in England  
  • 45 years experience in teaching Original Wu Tai Chi

Our focus and determination is to increase the energy & relaxation, fitness & strength, and the overall well-being of all our students through an engaging experience that will inspire your interest whether you are new to Tai Chi or have experience of other Tai Chi styles, martial arts or exercise systems. 

Quality & Commitment First

The quality and effectiveness of our Tai Chi is rooted in its historical accuracy, which is required to access the full benefits of Tai Chi practice.

The training programme for original Wu Style Tai Chi, available here in Sheffield for over 40yrs, remains faithful to its roots, retaining all the quality of the ancient forms developed and refined over hundreds of years by the early Masters of Tai Chi Chuan.  

Flexible learning experience

It is our aim to give you the best possible Tai Chi Chuan experience.  We teach specialised Chi Kung exercises, the Short & Original Long Forms, Sword & Spear Forms, the very original Fast Form, Push Hands exercises with a partner, and Self-Defence applications.  At the same time, our training programme is flexible enough to suit  the  needs of all, for example if you want to do Tai Chi only for health benefits, then we can cater for you at the highest level.  If you have an interest in any of the other disciplines, you can choose which elements of Tai Chi you would like to pursue further, such as weapons or fast form or push-hands. We concentrate on giving new begginers the best learning experience.

We also have specialised classes for the elderly and for those suffering from poor circulation, blood pressure, heart disease, or balance disorders.

We run Rehabilitation Classes for heart patients, and audiology patients, at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals.  These can be accessed  with a referral from your G.P.  We have researched and developed ‘Clinical Tai Chi' for these specialised courses, over the past twenty years, in conjunction with consultants at the hospital.

We are also Tai Chi trainers for the N.H.S. and Corporate Businesses.

What do I need?

We endeavour to make your learning experience as easy as possible so there is no set uniform or outfit required; just comfortable clothes and comfortable flat shoes such as training shoes.

We also understand the economics of learning any art or exercise form, so we try to keep our costs to the minimum, ensuring that high quality Tai Chi is available to as wide a range of people as possible.  We remain highly competitive. 


If you would like to come along and experience the benefits for yourself, e-mail or call us with any questions you may have, or to arrange to come to a class. 

We take beginners at very regular intervals on various days and evenings of the week.
