TAI CHI & QIGONG · JÁVEA, SPAIN
Your body can work better than it does. This is how.
A school for people who want to move well, calm the mind, and build real strength — whatever your body’s starting point.
This isn't gentle stretching. It never was.
People come here for two reasons: something hurts, or they want to make sure it never does. Both find the same thing: Tai Chi and Qigong taught properly — not as relics, not as gentle exercise, but as real training for a body that lasts. Strength, mobility, calm. You build it. It lasts.
Not treatment. Training.
This is lived, not just taught.
At seventeen, Jay broke his back. That’s what started it — the interest in how the body works, and what it takes to rebuild. Twenty-plus years of martial arts later, the path has run through professional bodywork, Shiatsu and Chinese medicine, sixteen years of Tai Chi, years of training in China and Taiwan, becoming an indoor disciple in the Huang Sheng-shyan lineage — and a gold medal at the 2025 Tai Chi World Cup.
He’s a teacher, not a therapist. A therapist does something to you and you come back when it wears off. A teacher gives you something you keep. The goal is for you to need him less over time, not more.

Not treatment. Training.
Most wellness approaches sell ease — a quick reset, a fast fix. Jay doesn’t, because it doesn’t work and he won’t pretend otherwise. He also won’t do it for you. A therapist treats you and you come back when it wears off; a teacher trains you and you keep what you learn.
What he offers is a process: reconnect to your body, understand what’s actually going on, build from there — layer by layer, with the right tools for where you are now. Some come from the Tai Chi tradition; some from the modern understanding of the nervous system, fascia and movement. All chosen for you, not applied by default.
Start by learning what your body can actually do. Then move in a way it can handle. Then ask it to handle a little more. That’s how the body gets stronger and more mobile without breaking down. Works at twenty. Works at sixty. It’s how Tai Chi has always worked.
Real stories from real students.
“I never dreamed I would get my strength and life back but this changed everything. “
“After a brain tumour operation and months in hospital — coma, ICU, intubation. Having to relearn breathing, speaking, eating, walking. I had no strength, balance or confidence. I didn’t know where to start, how to rebuild myself…”
“I felt like my body was working against me. Now I feel calm and in control.”
“I had a chronic condition for years that meant migraines, tinnitus, vertigo, fatigue. What built up over time was a constant fear of a debilitating migraine coming on. I knew I needed to exercise, but everything seemed to trigger a migraine, and I just felt like my body was working against me…”
“The path I’d been looking for — challenging, but sustainable.”
“I have previously trained in various martial arts over the years including Kendo, Shotokan & Mixed Arts. I enjoyed the physical benefits of sometimes very intense training. The intensity of training however, started to take a toll on my physical body…”
“It felt like my body was closing in on me. Tai Chi gave me control again.”
“I’d spent years running, playing tennis, skiing, practising yoga, pilates — but eventually all that activity caught up with me and took a real toll on my joints. I reached a point where I could no longer enjoy the things I loved. It felt like my body was steadily closing in on me…”
“I wasn’t sure it was for me. Now I practise every day.”
“I originally came to Tai Chi not really knowing what it was, and honestly I wasn’t sure it was for me. After going through cancer treatment, I was looking for something to help me rebuild, but I didn’t expect much…”
“Not a quick fix — but it’s kept me strong and moving.”
“When I started Tai Chi, I was already dealing with quite a lot of arthritis, and movement wasn’t always easy. I wasn’t looking for a quick fix — I just wanted something that could help me stay active and manage it over time…”
Not sure where to start? Just reach out.
The best first step is usually a conversation. Tell Jay what you’re looking for, and he’ll point you in the right direction.

Now and then, I’ll share what’s coming up — new classes, workshops, the occasional bit of guidance. Nothing more.
