Meet the Author

Writer and teacher of Tai Chi and many things (not quite 10.000) based in the Granada area of Spain. Born in London, England but raised as a Wanderer and Ponderer of the Way. Now I am perpetually and linguistically lost, but recovering a little clarity through the use of good technology, soft philosophy and many glasses of gazpacho during the humid summer months.

    Surprised! Not your usual Tai Chi Book

    I was expecting a guide to traditional Tai Chi and instead came across a guide to life, in a soft and inviting way. Yes, It deals with Tai Chi, it has the history, the philosophy and the exercises but takes all of that out onto the street to see how it works and in so doing makes a traditionally introspective subject accessible to anyone. A great introduction, and motivational read for anyone interested in the broad subject. Provocative, imaginative and very funny. Not your usual book on Tai Chi.....
