Willowbrook Centre of Oriental Arts

Richard has been training in Tai Chi for 11 years and
teaching for 4, he started training by learning Yang style
Tai Chi along with sword and fan forms. Richard is one of
only two people in Ireland qualified to teach Dr Lam’s Tai
Chi for Arthritis program.

In his Tai Chi classes Richard likes to teach Qigong as he
finds that this compliments the Tai Chi, and is great for
people who do not have the space to practice Tai Chi at
home.

After graduating from Tuina Therapy Ireland he set up a
Tuina clinic in Ballaghaderreen Co. Roscommon, where he
works on both his Tai Chi students and members of the
public.

Richard also enjoys practicing Traditional Japanese Martial
Arts, and runs classes for both adults and children from the
local area.   

Richard spends his time promoting Tuina, Tai Chi,Qigong
and Traditional Japanese Martial Arts, as he feels people
should be made aware of the many health benefits gained
from practicing these arts.

He gives talks to groups, and attends health fairs around
the country, in the hope that people will gain as much from
these arts as he has.
