"...I must work hard to repay my debts
Never indulge in vain glory.
Humble and tolerant one should always be.
I smile at countless people struggling to remain ahead in their profane activities;
They do not understand the inner peace of non-greed for wealth and fame..."

From a poem by Chen Wang Ting - Founder of Chen Style Tai Chi.


WHO ARE WE?

THE BRITISH CHEN STYLE TAI CHI COLLEGE HAS REPRESENTED THE UK IN CHINA IN TAI CHI EXHIBITIONS 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007
We are based in Bury near Manchester in the UK
We are affiliated to Chen Syle Tai Chi Schools in Nantong, Shanghai, Ganyu, Guanyun and Lianyungang (Jiangsu Province, China)
We are students of Authentic Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan, under the system taught by Grandmaster Chen Zheng Lei.

THE BRITISH CHEN STYLE TAI CHI COLLEGE came into being on 1st September 2000. From small beginnings the College continues to expand with students from as far as Mexico, Italy and Turkey now having trained with us!
In 2002 Master Liu Yong accepted the position of "Honorary President" and he continues to build strong links between The British Chen Style Tai Chi College students and their Chinese counterparts. British students visit China to train with him every year, and he also comes to teach here in the UK.

PRINCIPAL INSTRUCTOR, MASTER SUE JOHNSON
Tai Chi Master Sue Johnson has been practising Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan since 1990. Master Liu Yong recommended that Sue start the "British Chen Style Tai Chi College" as she had both the knowledge and the experience. She has trained extensivly with both Grandmaster Chen Xiao Wang and Grandmaster Chen Zheng Lei. She took part in the First International Advanced Training Course in Handan, Hebei in 1999 and the Third International Training Course in Zhengzhou in 2001.
She has been teaching Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan since 1992, in and around the Manchester area, and holds the City & Guilds Adult and Further Education Teaching Certificate (7307).

Sue Johnson is an Authorised Instructor and has practised the Wild Goose Qigong system since 1990. She is a student of Dr Bingkun Hu, who studied the Wild Goose system directly from the 27th Generation inheritor Grandmaster Yang Mei-Jun.
