Basher Posted April 20, 2012 Hi All, I'm looking forward to reading / learning about your views and experiences. But first, just a few words about my Background. I'm a Fifty "something" British chap, currently living in a small Village, in the Glorious County of Surrey, south of London, England. After flirting with the (usual)Karate/Judo/Aikido in my Teens, I "discovered" a Taoist School of Lee Style Kung Fu / Tai Chi when I was about 20. Spent a few years learning the basics, then (for various boring reasons) had to move. Couldn't find any classes teaching the same style within travelling distance, so (eventually) gave up looking and training. B I G G A P O F A B O U T 2 0 Y E A R S !!!!!! Then around 8 months ago (having moved back to Surrey) I decided to look around again. Am currently Training in (Taoist) Li Style T'ai Chi Ch'uan under the extremely impressive, humourous (and patient) Chief Instructor Tony Swanson. :D Hoping to gain some insight into all of the various Lee/Li Arts and more especially The Tao via any and all means possible (including you guys).

Chang Posted April 20, 2012 Hello Basher, Hope you are getting good weather in the gin and jaguar belt of Surrey. I have studied the Li Style of Taoist health and martial arts since 1997, also with the Taoist Arts Organisation. Welcome to the Tao Bums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Basher Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Hello Basher, Hope you are getting good weather in the gin and jaguar belt of Surrey.

Chang, nice to hear from another T.A.O. member on this Forum. Not sure if we've ever met, unless you ever attend the Bexley Class taught by the Technical Director himself. Not many wild Jaguars in my bit of Surrey, but plenty of the cars as "Romans" is just down the road with supercars aplenty for those with the money for the Insurance, the Car & some Petrol to go in it. Hate Gin though, as used to live near a "Gordon's" Distillery in Essex and the smell was atrocious ! PEACE Basher Edited May 2, 2012 by Basher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
