Chinese Internal Arts for Health & Wellbeing
Welcome to the Angus Tai Chi Academy
Our Aims
Under the general guidance of the International Association of Tai Chi and Lok Hup Academies, the aims of the group are:
Facilitate and encourage people to share in the Tai Chi and related arts as taught by Master Moy Lin-Shin
Enable people aged 18 and over from all walks of life to enjoy the benefits of Tai Chi
Provide instruction to allow people to participate in Tai Chi on a regular basis and train volunteer instructors to teach Tai Chi and related arts
Encourage involvement in Tai Chi in local communities
Develop an understanding of the benefits of this form of gentle exercise, as it promotes mental and physical well-being
The Angus Tai Chi Academy teaches 108-move Tai Chi. Our instructors pay particular attention to full extension in all of the movements, a style developed by Master Moy Lin-Shin (1931-1998).
He modified the traditional Yang Style 108-move Tai Chi set to maximize the health benefits for faster health improvement, as he realized that in a modern society, an exercise that was good for health was more important than a martial art for fighting.
The Angus Tai Chi Academy is a proud member of the International Association of TaiChi & Lok Hup Academies.

News & Events
COVID-19 Update - 26th August 2020
As things are beginning to ease a bit more, the instructors have had a discussion as to the way forward. Obviously this will depend upon the availability of the different halls we use and therefore the different classes may restart at different times. The classes will also have to be run differently (at least initially – things may change over time as the situation develops):-
In keeping with the 2 metre social distancing rule, some classes will need to be smaller in number, depending upon the size & shape of the individual hall.
The classes will be of shorter duration - so that one class has time to leave the premises before another arrives.
No refreshments will be served, but members can bring their own water bottles.
As the numbers per class are likely to be restricted, members will not be able to attend multiple classes in different locations. Members can only attend one class - usually the one where they pay their fees. You instructor will be in touch with you about the arrangements once your class restarts. Please do not turn up “on spec” to a different class, even if you normal class has not restarted.
Due to the large numbers normally attending some classes, it may be that members will be divided intogroups, which will be on a rota and only have a slot every two or three weeks. That way all the members get to attend and it is not just a case of “first come, first served” every week. Please do not turn up “on spec” on a different day.
No fees to be paid until January 2021.
