An 8-week beginner’s Tai Chi course for people interested in trying something new! Taking place at the Somer Centre, near Midsomer Norton Town Park. This course is led by an experienced Tai Chi instructor, Bruce.

All abilities are welcome.

Bruce will be teaching the ‘Ba Men’ (which translates as 8 Gates). This is a short sequence of 8 moves which train the basic principles or energies of Tai Chi.

The moves of the Ba Men are fairly easy to learn – at the start, as one learns the movements the practice is gentle, opening the joints, building a more connected body etc but it can also be practised in a way that’s much harder and while one is still moving slowly it provides much more of a workout – so it can be tailored to the needs of those attending without the need to teach different things to different people.

This class will be taking place inside the Somer centre, small hall or on the lawned area just outside the Somer centre, if the weather allows.

We will be meeting at the Somer Centre, Gullock Tyning, Midsomer Norton, Radstock, BA3 2UH. We will meet in the small hall, ready to begin at 11.30am.

This class is for adults only.

Class dates;

• Tuesday 15th October
• Tuesday 22nd October
• Tuesday 29th October
• Tuesday 5th November
