EUROKWAI
Oriental Martial Arts Est. 1976
Eurokwai Tai Chi-Jutsu is a unique system of personal protection, fitness training and character development. Created over a period of 40 years, it is an amalgamation of numerous exercises and techniques which, when practised reguarly, create confidence, fitness and an ability to deal with physical confrontation.
Techniques practised during Eurokwai’s lessons are a culmination of several ancient Oriental Martial Arts and are:-
- safe to practise;
- rely on natural movements of the body, arm and legs;
- students are not expected to engage in any unreasonable
or ‘dangerous’ activity.
For these reasons Tai Chi-Jutsu is ideally suited for adults of all ages, older students particulary benefitting from the special Chi (energy) exercises during training. By combining the soft, but powerful, techniques, participants can enjoy life long benefits including:-
- Increased levels of fitness and stamina
- improved posture and stability
- clarity of mind and confidence
- the ability to relax and control stress
- internal energy (chi) for healing and personal development
This vital energy of the universe is responsible for all life on earth, in other words, "no chi, no life". In China it is known as Chi and in Japan Ki.
Every human being requires this energy to survive from day to day and when Chi levels are low then sickness and lethargy will prevail. The exercises practised at Eurokwai are ancient in origin and are designed to increase levels of Chi, all of which greatly benefits the individual. Chi has many uses, including, increased fitness, healing and self defence.

Tai Chi-Jutsu Lessons at Eurokwai
Our classes are open to Adults over 18, both male and female, and beginners with no experience of martial arts are particularly welcome. Instructors at the club appreciate that many adults are put off starting a martial art as it is perceived to be too aggressive or something primarily for youngsters, neither is the case at Eurokwai where both males and females of all ages and abilities, over 18, are most welcome and indeed the club has no maximum age limit. The only quality a beginner needs is enthusiasm and a willingness to learn, Eurokwai's instructors will provide the rest, in the form of expert tuition gained from their 40 years experience with numerous Oriental Masters.
