We are the founders of the Chinese Martial Arts Association in the UK, based in Reading, Berkshire. The purpose of CIAA is to promote the Internal Martial Arts (Neijia) of Taijiquan, Yiquan, Baguazhang, Xingyiquan and the therapeutic exercises of Qigong
Our instruction came from Master Chen Xiaowang (Master Chen Wiki Entry), the 19th generation lineage holder of Chen-style taijiquan. We are 20th generation lineage holders of the Chen-style taijiquan, having studied for over 30 years and visiting Chen village as part of our traininig.
Lessons take place onsite in Swallowfield near Reading, Berkshire, or we offer zoom lessons that take place numerous times a week.
To learn the Internal Martial Arts students benefit from guidance in groups or one-to-one lessons in person or online.
We have trained many wonderful students in Tai Chi, or Taijiquan as we prefer to call it, as well as Yiquan, Baguazhang, Xingyiquan and the therapeutic exercises of Qigong
