In Lishi we try to observe, live and work with the seasons. We are moving out of the Winter (a Yin introspective period where everything slows down and rests) and into Spring (a time for re-gathering of your ideas and energies).

Spring is characterised by upward movement and expansion a time for activity and creativity.

It’s an ideal time to try something new – or if you have already started Lishi why not try attending a weekend workshop to deepen your knowledge and skills of this ancient art.

Next beginners courses start the first week of June.

Hollywood comes to Leeds…

Would you be interested in learning how to create fight scenes for the cameras?

We’re in talks at the moment with a top hollywood stuntman and choreographer about Sunday 10th July as a possible date for a 1 day workshop in Leeds.

It will be suitable for accomplished Lishi practitioners, dancers, actors and martial artists.

You can express your interest in the event by going to the Action and Fight Choreography Workshop page. We will be adding videos and information soon but register your interest and we will contact you with all the details.

Tai Chi Sword

During the winter retreats we run in Tenerife each year, we took the opportunity to do some filming. If you’ve not watched the spectaular swordfight on the side of a mountain here’s another chance to see the action! 🙂

Abbot Zhao from the White Cloud Temple visits Lishi in Leeds

TV interview with Grand Master Chee Soo

Lishi Student Makes History

New Class in Beijing, China

Lishi Lifestyle Festival

Strength of Character

Abbot Zhao from the White Cloud Temple in Beijing has long been a friend of Lishi and on his latest visit to Leeds he presented our teacher, the President of Lishi International and the International Daoist Society, with some very special caligraphy.

The characters pictured say “Lishi Daoist Tai Chi” and were painted by Huang Xing Yang the Deputy President of the Chinese Daoist Association.

The presentation of these prescious caligraphy scrolls further strengthens the relationship between Lishi International and the White Cloud Temple.

Additional paintings were also gifted by Ren Fa Rong the President of the Chinese Daoist Association.

These paintings from esteemed Daoist Masters will feature in our teacher’s forthcoming book “Moving As Water” which will be published later this year.

Historic Footage of Our Teacher’s Teacher

Video footage from the 1970’s of Grandmaster Chee Soo has recently been posted on the internet and you can watch the interview and demonstration on our facebook page.

In the interview, Chee Soo talks about the history of Lishi and demonstrates some Daoist principles to the amazement of the interviewer.

Watching this wonderful footage will give you a good feel for what Lishi is about.

Why does Bill look so happy?

Because he has just made history by graduating from Leeds Trinity University at the age of 90!

The foundation degree in Coaching Lishi Movement is the first degree of its kind, equipping students with the skills and knowledge to teach Tai Chi, Yoga and all the arts of Lishi as movement and exercise professionals.

Huge congratulations to Bill and Iain on completing their Lishi coaching degree.

New Class in Beijing

In September, Laoba will lead a group of twenty students of Lishi on the annual Daoist Trail trip to China. He will also be teaching at the newly opened class that runs weekly in Beijing.

If you are in Beijing and would like to attend the weekly class then please get in touch and we will send you all the details.

Looking ahead to June 2016
