Peter started tai chi in 1990 after learning other martial arts from 1982. He taught Chen Man Ching style from 1994, but since 2005 has focused on practising Chen. Classes are focused on the principles rather than majoring on teaching forms. He works by observing students and what they need to integ...rate next. A class consists of exercises on principles, including two person exercises and push hands, then applying these principles to forms. His passion is to hone the martial applications so they work well, utilising these underlying principles. This is always done in a safe, non-combative, explorative setting.
