Golden Rooster School of Tai Chi and Qigong

About

If you wish to excel at something, you will need to be laser-focused on your goal, you will need discipline, and flexibility, tenaciousness, and stamina, these are some of the traits I developed through more than 40 years of training in the internal arts of China; those skill sets led me to become a leader in every industry I have worked in and inspired people to elect me to senior executive positions in public, private and 3rd sector organisations. If you are looking to make a difference in your life, and the lives of others you know what to do.

The Golden Rooster School serves as a healthcare education service. It is focussed on teaching Chinese Internal Arts (Nei Jia) the best known of which are tai chi and Qigong, to support improved mental and physical well-being. We offer community outreach programs as part of our activities. We believe that teaching Tai Chi and Qigong in community settings and supporting the growth of community clubs, places a significant element of self-management of personal and community health, directly in the hands of community members.
The Golden Rooster School was established by Keith Roost and Gloria Dean in 2004 as the Golden Rooster Institute, to provide Tai Chi Chuan and Daoist Qigong to the residents of Coimbra in Portugal, in conjunction with local health and education providers such as Casa de Pessoal do Universidade dos Hospitais de Coimbra (University Hospitals of Coimbra) various local 'Casa de Saude' (Health Centres) and The Escola Superior Agrária de Coimbra ( a state-run school of agriculture) part of the Coimbra Polytechnical Institute.

Relocation to Norwich in England following a variety of urgent health issues for the founders was followed by changing the designation from "Institute' to school in 2011.
the classes and clubs set up in Coimbra have continued to thrive and expand under teachers and students trained by Keith and Gloria, supported by regular visits from senior teachers from our association.
The school provides private and public classes, workshops and seminars in Tai Chi Chuan and QiGong (pronounced Chi kung) to Individuals, groups, and organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors: The school is accustomed to working towards goals commensurate with the European Social Fund and Rural Development strategies, and actively promotes a healthy lifestyle and community participation through its outreach sessions locally and internationally.
We are happy to provide workshops, seminars and taster sessions, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
