Welcome to the Lao Shui Website

This site is designed & maintained by John Smith, a Taijiquan (Tai Chi) teacher living in Market Drayton, Shropshire, UK. He is a senior instructor with the Deyin Taijiquan Institute, which he also assists in an administrative role. The main function of this site is to provide his students with details of Current Classes and Class Dates & Times.

Another purpose of this site is to provide a repository for knowledge of Taijiquan 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 2019, 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.
