6th, 7th & 8th August 2008 - Boxwood Consulting Ltd - Company Tai Chi Event (60 members of staff)
It was a pleasure to be working with the Boxwood team again, this time we won the contract to teach the entire company Tai Chi at their annual training academy which was held at the beautiful Ashridge estate in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.
Working alongside Chris Allen, the Chief Instructor of UK Martial Arts / Corporate Martial Arts, was Peter Willmore and Stuart Miller, both qualified assistant instructors with UKMA.
As Tai Chi is best practiced outside and to accommodate the numbers we had decided to use the beautiful South lawn, with an impressive view of the main house. Thankfully the weather was fine on all three days and my team and I were able to teach the group a short form style of Tai Chi. We were even able to get everyone in touch with their Chi through some really energizing Chi Kung (breathing) exercises”, said Chris.
"They concentrated very well, listened intently and their focus was considerable even at 7am in the morning”, commented Peter Willmore, “I agree with Peter, “added Stuart, “the whole team seemed positively enthused by their practice and I was surprised as to how keen they were to get the form right”.
Juhi Srivastava, part of the organising committee from Boxwood commented after the event, “Chris and his team were great, they took 60 complete novices and gently introduced us into the world of Tai Chi, (no easy feat at 7am!). It was an enjoyable and energising start to our demanding 3 day programme”.

Boxwood Ltd contacted UKMA about organising an activity to support their New Employee Induction Week that was taking place at a local conference centre near Chesham. With a Kickboxing session planned for their second day at their induction, the new employees arrived fresh and left fired up for a full day ahead. Chris Allen, their Instructor who holds a 2nd Dan Blackbelt in Kickboxing and 1st degree in Tai Chi Chuan led the group through some basic punches and kicks, then finished off with some self defence techniques. For an early start, the Boxwood group certainly put their all in!
Chris rejoined them on their last day for a Tai Chi session which took place on a cold, crisp sunny morning outside the Latimer Conference Centre.
Following some very late nights and hard work, the boxwood group turned up on time for their Tai Chi session and were eager to get started. Chris felt sure that one or two of the participants would start Tai Chi practice on a regular basis.
Chris commented afterwards, "These people we're so friendly and positive, they relished the Kickboxing session and even after a late night on Thursday they were up for Tai Chi practice and eager to get out there and experience it for themselves, I really enjoyed working with them"!
What the client said
"Integrating exercise into our foundation training course has been under consideration for some time. The aim being to give new recruits an active lesson in the need to maintain a work life balance, starting with the training course. Chris Allen and the team at UK Martial arts provided us with two very professional early morning sessions, Kick Boxing and Tai Chi , which saw the delegates arrive in the training room enthused and charged with energy having tried something new. Chris complemented the sessions by recording a video and photographs of us all in action, which has been a great reflection and memento for the team. We are now planning to use UK Martial arts at a corporate wide event later in the year. Many thanks for a great energy booster!" Paul Oakes Programme Manager - Boxwood Ltd
