Tai Chi Holme On Spalding Moor and Bubwith

York

Howard was born in Hull in 1946 and began training under Chee Soo in 1973. He has been an instructor of Tai Chi Chuan and Feng Shou Kung Fu since 1976 and is the holder of 7th Tengchi Master Graded in both Tai Chi and Feng Shou (Kung Fu) and 3rd Tengchi in Chi Shu. He lives with his wife, artist Gisela, in Holme On Spalding Moor, East Yorkshire. Howard’s early fascination for these arts soon grew into a life-time vocation, realizing that they went beyond a purely physical discipline, but was also a tool for self-development, spiritual growth, and a way of helping himself and others to achieve holistic health and well-being. Extremely proficient in the Feng Shou self defence arts, Howard nevertheless felt a special love for the various forms, K’ai Men and Dao Yin. In fact he is famous for being Chee Soo’s only instructor who practised the Tai Chi form every morning, with the exception of Christmas Day, for 15 years! (And he is still practising with an odd exception, on a daily basis! Chee Soo had hundreds, perhaps thousands of students who entered his training halls through the years, but in the end there were only four in the country who stayed long enough to gain the highest Master Grade Chee Soo issued in his life time. One of those students was Howard, respected by his peers as the foremost authority on the Lee Family Tai Chi form. Howard’s and Chee Soo’s friendship was legendary and it is a privilege for those who today train under Howard to be shown an art so ancient, taught as he was taught, undiluted by fads and fashions, imbued with love, enthusiasm, precision and quality. Chee Soo passed away in 1994. In order to safeguard the continuation of the Arts and their philosophy, Howard founded the East-West Taoist Association in 1999. Howard holds regular all-day courses and grading days at Holme On Spalding Moor, East Yorkshire. For more information about classes, courses or training aids check out the links above.

Childhood is a precious time and our popular school provides a warm and nurturing environment from birth to age 16. Rated “Good” by Ofsted [https://www.yorksteinerschool.org/about-our-school/inspections/] in all areas, we start with our beautiful Gentle Beginnings [https://www.yorksteinerschool.org/gentle-beginnings/] groups: a calm supportive space to nourish your relationship with your new baby (up to 18 months), under the gentle guidance of holistic Early Years specialist, Dorothy Marlen. [https://www.dorothymarlen.net/] (First session is free). From here our families move on to Parent and Child Sessions [https://www.yorksteinerschool.org/parent-and-toddler/] (up to age 3 ½) in an exciting room full of enriching play equipment and interesting places to explore - with craft activities, songs, storytelling and puppet shows and a home-made meal where the children help prepare the food and lay the table. After this, many families choose to join one of our four wonderful Kindergartens [https://www.facebook.com/YorkSteinerSchool/posts/pfbid0UKjzUzTGZ3mMY7dZJuqs3vkj31ZA45MeJHBk5UmX5wLpC2cebgUa5VjwFzUXRU3jl] in the main school. In all our groups and classes, numbers are kept deliberately small so we can fully support each individual child. This means we are often oversubscribed – please book early! You can contact us at any time to discuss your child  or pop along to one of our Open Days and Enquirers’ Mornings where a warm welcome awaits: jo@yorksteinerschool.org [jo@yorksteinerschool.org]  or: 01904 654983 www.yorksteinerschool.org [www.yorksteinerschool.org] “Pupils here feel safe and to a very high degree, happy.” Ofsted
