For thousands of years, people all over the world have been practising and benefiting from Chinese exercise systems like Taichi, Taiji, Wushu, Yoga and Kungfu.
At the Bradford class we will teach you a time-tested way to raise your energy, become fitter and learn a philosophy for life that has been around for thousands of years for one reason, and one reason only….because it works!
In a few short weeks you could find yourself feeling very different (in a good way!) and you don’t have to spend money on an expensive gym membership to get these benefits!
The exercises we teach have been practised behind closed doors for thousands of years. Traditionally, they were considered so powerful that they were only passed on to select family members and friends.
Fate brought these Arts to the UK when the last member of the Lee Family, Chan Kam Li taught them to his adopted nephew, Chee Soo.
In time, Chee Soo formed the International Taoist Society to keep these arts alive and ensure the quality of all practitioners and teachers. Shortly before his death, Grand Master Chee Soo named Laoba Desmond Murray as the inheritor of the Lee Family System, or Lishi, and made him President of the organisation (which is now known as Lishi International).

There is an open class in Bradford and we’d like to invite you to come and find out if Lishi Tai Chi in Bradford is for you.
At your first class you will be introduced to principles and exercises that have stood the test of time. They have been proven to work for both men and women for thousands of years so you can feel confident they will work for you too.
Through a range of Taoist exercises with some similarities to Yoga, Tai Chi and Kungfu, here’s just some of what you will discover….
The Power of Relaxation
You will prove to yourself that tension and stress actually make you weaker. We will then show you ways to rid yourself of this forever and prove how being relaxed doubles your strength instantly.
The Keys to Greater Vitality
Building on lessons of relaxation I hand you the Keys to Greater Vitality by revealing special Taoist ‘Dao Yin’ breathing techniques.
Moving with Stillness
Learn to focus your mind and develop incredible concentration through mindful exercise that promotes greater calm and harmony between mind and body.
Raise the Tempo
True fitness is achieved by increasing the intensity of how you currently exercise. Taoists in China realised this thousands of years ago and developed exercises that are safe yet challenging for all people. It doesn’t matter how fit or unfit you are when you walk through the door to the class our exercises are guaranteed to exercise your heart and lungs, burn fat and tone and strengthen your muscles so that you have more energy available at all times.
Chi – Your Vital Force
You will be introduced to the natural energy within your body that has always been available to you. Exercising and utilising your “chi” or “qi” is the very essence of Lishi and brings greater benefits than you can realise.
Self-Defense that is fun and simple
The principles of Lishi are very effective as a system of self-defense and step-by-step you will gain greater coordination and confidence by working with a partner to test what you are learning in a supportive environment.
Once you experience the benefits of lishi Tai Chi in Bradford, you will want to make “feeling fit, healthy and energised” your natural way. We will spend time learning and practising exercises so that Lishi becomes a natural part of your lifestyle so you can draw on the benefits whenever you want, wherever you are.
