Hey, I have a little bit of news.
I haven’t been posting so much recently because I’ve been working on my first Tai Chi book. This isn’t self-published; it’s with a proper UK publisher, and the good news is I’ve submitted the final manuscript, and they’ve accepted it, so hopefully I won’t have to wait long to get a copy to look at.
I don’t want to give away the name of the publisher yet, or the title, since they seem a little secretive about these things, but once I can say more, I will.
I’m really pleased with it. This isn’t just another Tai Chi book like the hundreds of others you can buy. I’m not using it to teach a form—instead, it teaches you the thing that actually matters — internal movement. My book goes into much more depth than I’ve seen in other Tai Chi books.
More details when I can say more!

Hi Graham – this great news! Looking forward to hearing more about it when you are able to share. Best wishes, Steffan

Hi, well it’s taken a whole book to explain it in enough detail that you can actually start to learn it, but the short answer is, it’s moving from the middle (and the legs) using a connected structure throughout the body and power from the ground. It’s a fundamentally different way of moving compared to normal movement and the things that binds the internal arts together. Most people you see doing Tai Chi, or other internal arts, without this internal movement are simply doing choreography. Nice choreography, but choreography all the same.

Exciting news! So, your book focuses on “internal movement.” What do you mean by that? For us novices.
