<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I wake up at 05:30 every morning... I usually go take a wizz and roll back to sleep... I do get up at 08:30 cause I don’t want to get stiff from sleeping to long. I was very luck about 22 years ago when I took my sons to a martial arts class and ended up learning Tai Chi. It changed my life and I now do my forms every day as i’m fully out of working and it keeps me focused and it’s meditative. Oh and Tai Chi is a Internal Martial Art! Has benefits that other types don’t. Any questions please feel free to contact me and god bless all of you who have been through what we have!
