Alec Jones
Founder of Dragon Spring Taiji School

“When I attended my first Taiji class in 1981 my motives were simply to learn how to keep people away. I didn't realise at the time that this attitude would only compound my shyness and fear. It wasn't very long before I discovered these arts weren’t about fighting, but rather how to not-fight; to use the principles to understand how to deal with conflicts both internal and external.”

Alec is registered as a senior teacher with the Tai Chi Union for Great Britain and continues to study with his first teacher, Richard Farmer, (Founder of Rising Dragon Tai Chi School) as well learning from other teachers in Britain and China.

Alec also offers sessions for individuals and small groups in South Shropshire (click here for details). Alec has been teaching Taiji and Qigong since 1984, and running regular weekly classes in Birmingham since 1986.

Please email if you have any questions or would like more details of anything on offer at Dragon Spring Taiji.

Alec teaches Taiji in Kings Heath and Bournvlle, and Qigong in Moseley.
