Welcome and thanks for dropping by. My name is Paul Read - the teapotmonk - and I have been teaching for over 30 years. I combine a background in health and fitness, martial arts, languages, and Information Technology to present a new hybrid way to learn an ancient art.

21st century Tai Chi presents a series of instructional books - with back-up courses, resources, audio files or Interactive elements.

• Note on Paperback delivery: We use a small print company so books may take up to 10 days to arrive (though usually nearer 5). Although slow delivery times foster patience (which is the first lesson we learn in tai chi ;) to keep you entertained, you can begin your self-study online course straight away.
• Note on eBook delivery: eBooks (PDFs and ePubs) involve no printing and minimal delivery costs and so are priced cheaper) They are downloadable as single or multiple files immediately after purchase.
• Thank you! By choosing to support small independent publishers you help keep alive an alternative to the big (you know the ones that shall not be named) multinational companies. 🙏
