UKTQF Teaching History

The founders of the United Kingdom Tai Chi Qigong foundation are Raymond and Gavin Towers. Raymond has studied Chinese Internal Health and Martial Arts for more than 35 years in China, America and the United Kingdom. He has been teaching for more than 30 years. Raymond's son Gavin has more than 20 years experience, having trained in China as well as the UK and has himself been teaching for 15 years.

Our history

Many questions are asked about "lineage" to ascertain how and where a teacher learnt their skills. In the view of the UKTQF this should not be seen as an opportunity to mention a master with whom one may have trained for a weekend and gained a certificate but to pay respect to those who helped teach and develop your skills over a sustained period of learning. The teacher training route for each of the disciplines taught by the United Kingdom Tai Chi Qigong foundation is outlined below.
