Over the years - and as both cause and consequence of www.taichido.com which I set up with Mark in 1998 (now including this site: wheelswithinwheels.net) - I have developed a very good web/Internet support system that provides education and distance learning packages for those out there 'worldwide' as well as full information on my method of individual tuition for three dimensional people that live in and around Southampton. Via these pages I am able to offer a free one hour meeting to prospective individual students here at my home dojo (the largest room in the house put aside as a training room) at which I "answer as many questions as I am able" prior to the commencement of booked (same time same day every week) sessions. The efficiency of this system has been proved to me beyond all doubt because since doing it this way I have managed to properly teach many more than when I taught groups - because groups always eventually disintegrated and whoever was left had to start again from the beginning - and only the most determined made it!

I began teaching, instructing or promoting Tai Chi in 1996. At first I taught on an individual basis only. My first 'clients' were private referalls from a local hospital. I offered medical/theraputic Chi Kung and Tai Chi (T.C.M.); and if anyone was interested, Spiritual Tai Chi. My first dojo was also the meeting place for a Buddhist Meditation/Zen group. This practice continues to this day in what is essentially dojo 3. The Southampton Shin Sangha meet here every Thursday night. When, in 1998/9 my Tai Chi teacher himself retired from active teaching I inherited a few of his ex. students.By the turn of the centuary I was meeting with up to twenty students a week. When I moved to dojo 2 I reverted to meeting with individuals and pairs only.
This 'system' moved with on the 4th of September 2006 to dojo 3 in the district known as Inner Avenue, Southampton - and thus I continue to do what I do in the way I have been doing it for nearly a dozen years now - uninterrupted.
