Hello, my name is Kumiko Richards. I started regular practice of Tai Chi and Qigong in 2009, and in 2013 I joined the Level 1 instructor course by Deyin Taijiquan Institute and became a qualified instructor. Since then, I have completed further modules, including 88 Step Yang Style Tai Chi and Tai Chi Kungfu Fan Form. In 2021 I successfully completed the Level 2 instructor course and am now qualified to teach Sun Style hand form as well. Outside Tai Chi I enjoy practising Xing Yi Quan 5 Elements, 12 Animals and Linking forms. I have also participated in national competitions regularly and I have been multiple medalist in London Competition for Traditional Tai Chi Chuan between 2015 and 2019. I also work with organisations so that more people can benefit from Tai Chi and Qigong. Currently I run a class for Sue Young Cancer Support in Leicester. I enjoy Tai Chi and Qigong, they are now big part of my life, and I hope to be able to share the fun and the benefits of these ancient arts through my classes.
