Jade Dragon School

For 25 years we've been teaching people in the Reading area to change the ways that stress affects their physical and mental health. The Jade Dragon School teaches tai chi and kung fu skills from beginner to advanced levels. We teach deeper skills than most other schools. Our training has helped hundreds of people become less stressed, more mobile and reduce a wide range of chronic health conditions. I, Paul Chapman have been running the school since 2003 but its origins lie in a temple on the slopes of the Jade Dragon snow mountain in South West China. The temple isn’t there any more but I keep the traditions and training alive. In essence I teach people how to use their body. How to hold it and move it with effortless power. We work on breathing, posture, visualisations, rooting, mindfulness, philosophy, meditation and so on. I teach eleven tai chi and kung fu classes throughout Central and East Berkshire. I also offer personal training, retreats and online courses.
