Union Instructor: Luke Shepherd
Main Instructor: Paul Fretter (Paul is one of Luke’s instructors in same lineage.)
Paul has practiced and taught martial arts since the early 1980s and in 2006 was graded to 5th Dan in Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate Do. He began Tàijí as a student of Peter Dobson in 1991, and then followed Peter to learn together under Wee Kee Jin in 1997.
Since 2007, Paul has focused his training on Wee Kee Jin’s Tàijí Quan and White Crane, while maintaining a personal practice of Goju Ryu.
As an consultant engineer and technician by trade, Paul draws deeply on his empirical background yet brings an exploratory approach to structure and fluid change. Applied to the body and mechanics of movement in taiji this opens up avenues for deep exploration.
This is suitable for all levels and styles and will give a thorough explanation of the what and how to practice for maximum benefit of clarity and enjoyment.
Paul trains within the Huang Shen Shyan lineage and offers clear guidance to the subtleties of taiji.
You will view your practice in a whole new light and with fresh eyes.
