This is how. A school for people who want to move well, calm the mind, and build real strength \u2014 whatever your body&#8217;s starting point. Find your path See the class schedule This isn&#8217;t gentle stretching. It never was. People come here for two reasons: something hurts, or they want to make sure it never does. Both find the same thing: Tai Chi and Qigong taught properly \u2014 not as relics, not as gentle exercise, but as real training for a body that lasts. Strength, mobility, calm. You build it. It lasts. Not treatment. Training. This is lived, not just taught. At seventeen, Jay broke his back. That&#8217;s what started it \u2014 the interest in how the body works, and what it takes to rebuild. Twenty-plus years of martial arts later, the path has run through professional bodywork, Shiatsu and Chinese medicine, sixteen years of Tai Chi, years of training in China and Taiwan, becoming an indoor disciple in the Huang Sheng-shyan lineage \u2014 and a gold medal at the 2025 Tai Chi World Cup. He&#8217;s a teacher, not a therapist. A therapist does something to you and you come back when it wears off. A teacher gives you something you keep. The goal is for you to need him less over time, not more. World Cup Gold Medallist \u00b7 Tai Chi Lineage Holder (Huang Sheng Shyan line) \u00b7 Trained for Years in China &amp; Taiwan \u00b7 Working Towards a PhD in Natural Medicine \u00b7 20+ in Martial Arts Find your path Group Classes Join the community. Morning classes across J\u00e1vea \u2014 outdoors, welcoming, built around real progress. Beginners always welcome. The only requirement is that you show up. See the schedule \u2192 Private Work Work with Jay directly. One-on-one, built entirely around you. A specific issue, or simply going deeper faster. Enquire about private work \u2192 Online Learn from anywhere. The practice travels. Online sessions and programmes, wherever you are in the world. Join the waitlist \u2192 Workshops Immersive learning. Focused sessions in somatics, Tai Chi, Qigong and Nei Gong. Designed to shift something real. See upcoming workshops \u2192 How the training works Most wellness approaches sell ease \u2014 a quick reset, a fast fix. Jay doesn&#8217;t, because it doesn&#8217;t work and he won&#8217;t pretend otherwise. He also won&#8217;t do it for you. A therapist treats you and you come back when it wears off; a teacher trains you and you keep what you learn. What he offers is a process: reconnect to your body, understand what&#8217;s actually going on, build from there \u2014 layer by layer, with the right tools for where you are now. Some come from the Tai Chi tradition; some from the modern understanding of the nervous system, fascia and movement. All chosen for you, not applied by default. Start by learning what your body can actually do. Then move in a way it can handle. Then ask it to handle a little more. That&#8217;s how the body gets stronger and more mobile without breaking down. Works at twenty. Works at sixty. It&#8217;s how Tai Chi has always worked. Real stories from real students. &#8220;I never dreamed I would get my strength and life back but this changed everything.&#8221; &#8220;After a brain tumour operation and months in hospital \u2014 coma, ICU, intubation. Having to relearn breathing, speaking, eating, walking. I had no strength, balance or confidence. I didn&#8217;t know where to start, how to rebuild myself\u2026&#8221; Read Dawn&#8217;s story \u2192 &#8220;I felt like my body was working against me. Now I feel calm and in control.&#8221; &#8220;I had a chronic condition for years that meant migraines, tinnitus, vertigo, fatigue. What built up over time was a constant fear of a debilitating migraine coming on. I knew I needed to exercise, but everything seemed to trigger a migraine, and I just felt like my body was working against me\u2026&#8221; Read Kate&#8217;s story \u2192 &#8220;The path I&#8217;d been looking for \u2014 challenging, but sustainable.&#8221; &#8220;I have previously trained in various martial arts over the years including Kendo, Shotokan &amp; Mixed Arts. I enjoyed the physical benefits of sometimes very intense training. The intensity of training however, started to take a toll on my physical body\u2026&#8221; Read Dan&#8217;s story \u2192 &#8220;It felt like my body was closing in on me. Tai Chi gave me control again.&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;d spent years running, playing tennis, skiing, practising yoga, pilates \u2014 but eventually all that activity caught up with me and took a real toll on my joints. I reached a point where I could no longer enjoy the things I loved. It felt like my body was steadily closing in on me\u2026&#8221; Read Julie&#8217;s story \u2192 &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t sure it was for me. Now I practise every day.&#8221; &#8220;I originally came to Tai Chi not really knowing what it was, and honestly I wasn&#8217;t sure it was for me. After going through cancer treatment, I was looking for something to help me rebuild, but I didn&#8217;t expect much\u2026&#8221; Read Martin&#8217;s story \u2192 &#8220;Not a quick fix \u2014 but it&#8217;s kept me strong and moving.&#8221; &#8220;When I started Tai Chi, I was already dealing with quite a lot of arthritis, and movement wasn&#8217;t always easy. I wasn&#8217;t looking for a quick fix \u2014 I just wanted something that could help me stay active and manage it over time\u2026&#8221; Read Karen&#8217;s story \u2192 Not sure where to start?
