Welcome to the Lao Shui Website for Taijiquan and Qigong

This site is designed & maintained by John Smith, a Taijiquan teacher living in Market Drayton, Shropshire, UK. It has two primary functions, the first being to provide his students with details of current classes and forthcoming events.

The other main function of this site is for all taijiquan and qigong enthusiasts, and is to provide an increasing repository of knowledge on these subjects in accessible formats. There is a page where you can choose from a large collection of YouTube Videos, specially selected from the thousands available.

There are pages where you can learn to speak names of tai chi moves in Chinese, or read translations of Tai Chi Principles. In addition, there are tools and tips for other website designers, including a Chinese Character Converter.

Class Dates & Times have been provisionally sorted for all classes up to the end of 2016, and are entered on the Calendar page. Details for all sessions can be found on the Classes page. If you only come occasionally, please check on the Calendar page before you come, in case of late changes.

At present John is teaching several classes in Market Drayton, and one in Telford. All students are welcome to attend any of the sessions.
