Welcome to the Ru-Chi Academy

Thank you for your interest in The Ru-Chi Academy and in the world of Tai Chi and Qigong. We have put this site together to help you learn a little more about what we feel Tai Chi is all about, and to give you an insight into The Ru-Chi Academy itself.

In this site you will find a brief history and introduction to Tai Chi Chuan (the complete system of Tai Chi and Qigong), the history of The Ru-chi Academy, the man who started it and the two instructors who will be teaching you within the clubs run by The Ru-Chi Academy. You will find everything you need to know about the day to day running of the club, what you can expect from us and what we would like from you in return.

The Ru-Chi Academy operates a term system of ten weeks, we take a one week break after week five for half term, please email us for a copy of the term times and class times and locations. There is also a copy of our price list for classes.

The Ru-Chi Academy is a member of the BCCMA (British Council of Chinese Martial Arts) which covers the Academy’s insurances. We will expect you to jion the BCCMA at the same time as you join The Ru-Chi Academy. This means that there will be a small annual charge which helps to cover our running and insurance costs (All of which are shown). Joining Th Ru-Chi Academy and the BCCMA will give you cover for your own Personal injury insurance, information on entry into numerous different national and international competitions and events as spectators or participants, as well as access to the members section of this site.
