PLEASE NOTE:
If they are not here than they do not practice or teach the exclusive T'ien Ti Tao Ch'uan-shu system.
It has come to our attention that there are some misguided notions that we have, or have had clubs in Surrey or possibly elsewhere in the past. This is not so. We had clubs in Ipswich (closed down as trainee instructor Michelle Rook, a National Competition winner,  had children and left to look after family full time), two clubs were closed in Gt. Yarmouth and Lowestoft and the instructors stripped of grade and expelled for gross misconduct; we have high standards and expect our representatives to maintain those high standards and behave in a responsible and proper manner. It may take up to 15 years to train one of our instructors, so such actions are not easy except in cases of gross misbehaviour; this serves to protect the public from unscrupulous or unsuitable behaviour.

Those listed in Dark Grey may no longer be fully conversant
or up to date with the system as they have had to abandon training for their work, family moves or retirement from teaching. We train our students and instructors to the highest standards and have been complimented upon this many times by top students of other systems, other instructors and the public.
