Tai Chi Caledonia 2009
3rd - 10th July 2009, Stirling, Scotland.
Tai Chi Caledonia 15 will be on 9th - 16th July 2010, the website will be updated with more details soon.
Over a predominantly dry and sunny July our 14th Tai Chi Caledonia once again drew 100+ participants from many locations, Scotland, UK, mainland Europe and the Americas. Within these pages you will see a selection of videos, images and comments from instructors and students.
From a bedrock of efficient, friendly and helpful backroom staff to a team of high qualified, open instructors almost everyone enjoyed the good spirits, good training and convivial sharing that comes from a group of enthusiastic individuals in this field of work.
Tai Chi Caledonia stands as an ongoing testament to the benefits of our arts and it has been our great pleasure to offer this space to the tai chi community.
Please feel free to share all your views and let us continue to enjoy the connection that comes from the spirit of Tai Chi Caledonia!
Good wishes to all.

Read all the Tai Chi Caledonia: Participant feedback '09
“In the weeks following Tai Chi Caledonia 2009 we’ve received a number of comments, mainly positive.
I’m fully aware, as I mentioned on the final night, that the workspace we’re getting is useless.
Following my various travels across Europe, in the month immediately following Caledonia, teaching at a number of other international taiji events, I’m acutely aware that the workspace is a major issue. I also know that we offer better service than you’ll get at any other event in Europe – don’t believe me, ask any of the instructors who’ve ever been with us.
I’ve arranged a high-level meeting at the University with all departments concerned and fully intend to short things out regarding workspace; if not then I’m closing the doors.
I’ve included your all your comments below here excepting a two page letter outlining everything from health & safety issues to not getting a cup of tea or a DVD of what was being taught – it’s just too long to include here.
I take the organisation of Tai Chi Caledonia very seriously and will continue to endeavour to provide you the very best of teaching, service and good spirits – thanks again to all those who joined us and to everyone who expressed their feelings, positive or otherwise!
Good Qi
