T'ai Chi Chuan is a complete system of exercise and a martial art based on the theory of Yin and Yang but don't worry you won't be expected to fight, at least not unless you really want to! The style is Wudang or Practical T'ai Chi Chuan International as taught by Dan Docherty, a founder member of the T'ai Chi Union for Great Britain. He learnt from Master Cheng Tin-hung in Hong Kong in the 1970-80's.

The members take great pride in the club and believe the Woodingdean bowls club is amongst the best outdoor bowls club in the city and indeed in the county. It hosts several touring bowls clubs each year some of which often return.

Kung Fu is an ideal way to exercise, combining aerobic workouts with stretching exercises designed to keep the body lithe and supple. Balance and co-ordination improve through the practice of two-person drills and single person forms, which are designed to teach efficient use of the body.
Training in Kung Fu helps to increase confidence, while placing an emphasis on personal discipline and self-control.
Traditional Kung Fu is most suited to the younger more energetic martial arts enthusiast. Our kung fu training draws from both southern and northern fighting styles

My approach to teaching is inclusive, light-hearted, down-to-earth and mindful. You are encouraged to go at your own pace, listening deeply to what is right for your body in each moment, and there is no competition. Although my approach is gentle, I will challenge you with some dynamic movement too so that you leave the class feeling well-stretched, energised and at the same time deeply relaxed and peaceful.
I am keen to make yoga accessible and can offer adjustments for most health conditions. Beginners are welcome.

Zumba is a fitness-party with a contagious blend of Latin and international rhythms that provides a fun and effective workout.
Zumba classes blend upbeat rhythms with easy-to-follow choreography, which provide effective, total-body exercise. The best thing is that you don’t even feel like you are exercising. You don’t need to be a dancer to be able to participate in this class either. The whole one hour feels like one big PARTY and you can burn anything between 400-800 calories in one go.
Zumba is for everyone regardless of an age, sex or ability. You can get as little or as much out of the class as you want.
So DON’T wait any longer, COME JOIN THE PARTY!
My classes are all about achieving your fitness goals in a fun, exciting and supportive atmosphere. The music will engage you, the choreography will challenge you, and the experience will inspire you.
Every class genuinely feels like a party!
Join me and you'll see why Zumba is so popular and effective. You'll never know unless you try.
