Hi, my name is Paul and I have been practicing Yang style tai chi since 2008. My friend talked me in to joining a class that he attended as a way of helping me to manage my stress. Well, it worked, and I’m still attending the same class all these years later! Back in 2016 the same friend suggested I start teaching my own class, I took his advice again and have been teaching here at Bantham and Ongar bowls club pretty much ever since (aside from the break for Lockdown!). The club is located in Weald Bridge Road, North Weald CM16 6GP.

So what is Bando Tai Chi I hear you ask? Well, quite simply it’s a Tai Chi class at Bantham and Ongar Bowls Club (B and O, see?) and is absolutely nothing to do with the Bando that I have recently discovered is also apparently a Burmese self defense martial art!
