At Richard Neville Tai Chi, my passion is sharing my love of Tai Chi and helping more people learn Tai Chi through accessible classes across County Durham, Tyne & Wear, and worldwide via online courses. While the ancient practice of Tai Chi is known for promoting inner peace, it can also be a lot of fun!

You will experience increased strength, stress reduction, improved balance, and mental clarity through my Tai Chi classes to suit every level.

My classes are designed for every level, so whether you’re a complete beginner or have tried to learn Tai Chi before, you’ll find a supportive and enjoyable environment to learn and grow.

My Story: How I learned Tai Chi

I Am | Tai Chi

My passion for movement-based exercise began at age 10 with The Mighty Marvel Comics Strength and Fitness Book, where Spiderman and Thor taught workouts using just your own bodyweight. As I grew older, this interest led me to create INTERNAL FORCE FITNESS, an online resource featuring vintage exercise manuals and tutorials that focused on workouts that did not need equipment.
During my research, I discovered that one of the original bodyweight workouts – alongside Yoga – was Tai Chi. I was instantly hooked and after learning Tai Chi myself, I became eager to help others learn and experience its unique blend of strength, balance, and mindfulness.

Meet Your Tai Chi Instructor

I’m Richard Neville, and I’m passionate about helping people learn Tai Chi! Alongside Tai Chi, I run three other fitness businesses: Internal Force Fitness, which promotes vintage bodyweight-only workout programs; Wield Fitness, focusing on vintage weight-based routines; and Taiso.co.uk, where I teach the world-famous TaiSo exercise method.

When I’m not working on fitness, I am a support worker for neurodivergent entrepreneurs, and do a bit of origami and other crafty-type projects. You’re also more than likely going to see me at a charity shop or a car boot sale!

Whether you want to learn Tai Chi or explore other unique fitness approaches, I’m here to guide you on your journey.
