Testimonials
Howard is a superb teacher. I have learnt the short form from his excellent and painstakingly produced DVD. Being unable to find a style I enjoyed which was taught at a reasonable hour for me his DVD has been a godsend. I am only sorry that I cannot attend his classes in person. I thank him sincerely for his thoughtful and precise work.

Hi Howard,
Can I say that it was nice to meet you in person for the first time when you came up to Edinburgh in November this year, and as Denise (my own instructor) said I would, I certainly enjoyed all of your classes that I attended. I met some really nice people and I went away from each one having a had a great time, but also realizing that I have a lot to learn; a challenge which I will (hopefully) over the future years meets. I look forward to seeing you again when you are next back in Scotland.
Best Regards,
Jim. Anderson - Edinburgh

Dear Howard,
At the age of 21 I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and have taken medication ever since (I am much older now!). A friend of mine, introduced me to Tai Chi and like so many people, I struggled at the beginning because there seemed to be so much to learn! However, I was confident enough to attend a day course. I was both excited and nervous - after all I was going to meet 'The Master'! You were not only helpful and encouraging but inspirational - I was hooked and began to take Tai Chi far more seriously. The results of my revised approach was that later in the year my blood pressure had reduced so much that I was taken off one tablet. My blood pressure has continued to reduce, in fact last Monday, I was taken off yet another tablet.
I appreciate that many factors may influence blood pressure however, I am convinced that the improvement in my blood pressure correlated directly with my involvement in T'ai Chi.
Thank you for being you and helping me and others like me to raise our horizons for personal achievement and enjoyment.
Kindest regards.

Testimonials
Howard,
Many thanks for your prompt response - I received the new DVD yesterday. As I have been struggling with "The Stork is Aroused" and "The Double Whip" sequences at my local Tai Chi classes for the last three weeks, I am pleased to say that I have now cracked it by following your crystal clear instructions on the DVD.
Thanks again,
Mr. Joseph William Taylor

Wishing you all the best for a peaceful Christmas and new year.

Many thanks Howard,
The Silk DVD is wonderful and I have already printed out the manual. Hope it isn't as cold with you as it is here.

Thank you, Howard, for speedy delivery of DVD, which arrived yesterday and have also printed your eBook.
I have practiced with your DVD and find it easy to understand and great for learning.
It is daunting when you first start to learn Tai Chi when you see all the moves you have to remember for feet, hands, arms & legs all at once, but you have broken it down into 'bite size' chunks which makes it much more managable.
The eBook is very helpful & informative.
Many thanks.

I would also like to say that I recently
received one of your DVDs - T'ai Chi Dance Vol 1 - as a gift (my partner bought it for my birthday, at my
suggestion) anyway, what I wanted to say was how delighted I am with it, and how I am struck, pretty much
every time I use it, by the thought that the people who made this DVD clearly cared about the quality of the
experience that would be had by those using the DVD as an aid to learning. So, thanks for that; I'm sure I am
very far from alone in appreciating it.
Best
wishes.
