Welcome to the fascinating world of 21st Century Tai Chi. ​

My name is Paul Read (the teapotmonk). I've been teaching Tai Chi for over 25 years. If you've been told that Tai Chi is difficult to learn, then fear not, for I specialise it making it much easier than you think. But simplicity is just part of what I offer. I also aim to inspire and keep you motivated throughout your Tai Chi Journey. ​​Check out the introduction video here for what next to do, or browse the FAQ, Books, Articles or Courses.
