Genuine Tai Chi taught to an advanced level. Where so many other school literally just go through the motions we offer so much more. Tai chi is a very deep and powerful art when you learn it properly yet most of what is taught now is barely a shadow of what it used to be. Learn the real thing with the Jade Dragon School.
Email the school if you’d like to come along to a class and I’ll put your name down for it.
Jade Dragon Tai Chi concentrates on the important aspects of Tai Chi that many other teachers omit by just repetively teaching the form.
Strengthening the back and legs to improve posture and restore balance; reduce the tension that every day modern life creates and bringing a sense of calm.
I have trained with Paul for three years and I can thoroughly recommend him as a Tai Chi teacher.
I have been studying with Paul for almost a year now. I have really enjoyed it; my lower body strength and balance have improved greatly. I would recommend to people of any age!
Paul is very patient and his classes are inclusive and informal. He always explains the theory behind the movements – much more interesting than other classes taken in the past.
My wife and I started classes with Paul in the spring, and really enjoy the health benefits that Tai chi brings.Paul explains every exercise and movement simply, and slowly takes us through each stage ,building up our confidence and ability to practice at home.
Just want to say how happy and glad I joined Jade Dragon TaiChi . Paul is so knowledgeable and so wants to share his experience with us novices. The best hour of my week. My partner always comments on how I come home with a bounce about me .
I started Tai Chi to simply help preserve my mobility and balance but have actually found that Paul's classes do more than that by showing how it can help improve general well being and relaxation
The new learning is challenging, but the calm and well paced classes are suitable for different abilities and experience and I do feel that I am really benefiting from Paul's teaching.
I’ve really enjoyed Paul’s Tai Chi classes. He has a huge amount of knowledge and experience, but what I particularly like is the way he explains things and helps you understand the thinking behind what you’re doing, rather than simply following movements.
The classes are friendly, welcoming and never intimidating, and I always come away feeling I’ve learnt something new. Paul clearly cares about what he teaches and about passing that knowledge on properly. I’d happily recommend his classes to anyone thinking about giving Tai Chi a go.
Paul's classes are always fun & friendly, while also benefiting from his wealth of knowledge which he is always happy pasting on !
My overall health & fitness levels are reaping the rewards after every class !
Paul is an excellent teacher. I have studied with various Tai Chi schools over the years and have to say this is the first time I've come across someone who teaches the basic principals so well. I feel like I'm actually learning to move like a cat or whatever other type of animal! I'm experiencing a steady improvement in my sense of balance and grounding of energy. Practising at home every day also helps and Paul provides a comprehensive online class to aid your memory.
I have thoroughly enjoyed attending Paul’s Tai Chi classes. He does an excellent job at explaining the origins behind the practice, which adds a deeper understanding to each session. I particularly appreciate how he breaks down every movements step by step, making even more complex sequences easy to follow and learn. His teaching style is patient, clear, and engaging, creating a welcoming environment for participants of all levels. Keep it up Paul! 😋
Hi Everyone
I have really enjoyed attending Tai Chi classes with Paul Chapman at the Jade Dragon School. Paul teaches so much more that just the choreography and form, imparting detailed knowledge of body mechanics , poise and relaxation processes involved in Tai Chi.
Providing classes with both depth and interest. Highly Recommended
I’ve been attending these sessions now for 9 months that’s because I find them personally beneficial. Paul our ‘master’ covers everything in detail from posture, movement, breathing and how you feel connected to your body as you go through the Tai Chi lessons. Paul’s understanding of the martial art is deep and it’s certainly helped me with my balance and day to day focus and relaxation. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone so come along.
Paul is very good and knows his stuff. Classes are easy to follow and welcoming. I enjoy the classes and look forward to the next class.I look forward to learning more.
I really enjoy Paul's lessons. I come away extremely relaxed and aware of my body, and am far more in tune now of where I hold tension in my body and can do something about it. My balance has improved and flexibility. Can highly recommend it for any age.
I am really enjoying learning Tai Chi with Paul at Jade Dragon Tai Chi School. He’s a fantastic teacher who breaks everything down clearly, helping you understand not just what you’re doing, but why. Paul is patient, encouraging, and takes the time to make sure everyone can follow along, whatever their experience or ability.
I have been attending Paul's class for just over 3 years and I can thoroughly recommend him. I love doing Tai Chi and his teaching style is great. I have found the classes to be very relaxing and great for improving balance.
Paul's Tai Chi classes always leave me feeling calmer and more relaxed. Over time my legs have strengthened, my balance has improved and I'm more in control of my breathing. Paul not only demonstrates the movements of the form but also takes time to explain the underlying concepts which can be applied in everyday life. His classes are fun and suitable for all ages and abilities.
The Jade Dragon, Tai Chi lessons are superb. Paul is a fantastic teacher of the art. Highly recommended, enjoyable, informative and a great way the excercise.

Tai Chi is a movement science. Tai Chi masters have studied human movement for hundreds of years, passing down this wisdom on how to move effectively and efficiently. It is both an art and a form of meditation.
Mr Paul Chapman has studied and practiced Tai Chi for over 40 years and now shares this knowledge and experience through his classes.
The fluidity of Paul’s moments is a testament to his many years of study and practice.
Tai chi has helped me improve my balance and mental clarity and has taught me to be more present and aware of my movements.
I feel fortunate to be able to attend Paul’s classes. His knowledge, experience and patient teaching make the classes both enjoyable and rewarding.
Jade Dragon Tai Chi classes are very friendly especially for newbies. Paul is a very knowledgable teacher who will take you beyond the basic Tai Chi movements and ensure you get maximum benefit from the lessons. After just a few weeks my balance, coordination and core strength have all shown improvement.
A great Tai Chi class. Very welcoming especially as it was my first time. Paul is very approachable with a wealth of knowledge and an expert teacher. .
The school is run by Paul Chapman who started training in the Jade Dragon School when he was just 20. He underwent the traditional twelve years of training under two highly respected masters before he was deemed worthy to run his own classes. This is in contrast to so many teachers now who have ‘qualified’ to teach after just a few months of training.
Paul Chapman has personally taught well over two thousand students the beauty and intricacies of the Chinese internal martial and health arts.
Tai Chi is practiced every day by millions because of the way it teaches you to hold and move your body without tension. Gain strength, mobility, balance, energy and more. We teach public classes and private groups and have over 300 current students who love our friendly and expert classes, retreats and workshops.
