I’m so totally stoked. On Thursday I’m going to a new Tai Chi class in Kensington. This one is taught by Michael Tse. He’s the only guy I have been able to find teaching Chen style this side of London and has the added bonus that he’s a student of Grandmaster Chen Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang is the current heir and head of the style!

It’s a bit early to start shouting, as I haven’t been yet, but I’m very much looking forward to being able to tell people about my place in the Tai Chi lineage :-). I’m interested to see how different it is. I did like my old teacher, Kenny, a lot. He was obviously very passionate about Tai Chi and I hope that Michael will be the same. I also hope that there’s room for a slacker who doesn’t train enough.

Really, I ought to do more training. I never did anywhere near enough outside the weekly sessions at the centre. Oh, that raises another question, should I where my Reyukai Centre (the Norwich centre where I trained) tshirt on Thursday?
