About us

Sam Moor is the senior instructor for Sussex Tai Chi. Having started training in martial arts at the age of 17 (kick-boxing and Kung-fu) he began studying the Chinese internal arts when he turned 20. During the last twelve years Sam has studied a number of internal disciplines including Chen style Tai Chi, Yiquan, Yang style Tai Chi, Ba Gua and Xingyiquan. These days, however, he mostly focuses upon Chen Tai Chi and Yiquan.

Over the years Sam has trained extensively in China. He has studied Yiquan in Beijing with Master Yao Chengguang and Chen Tai Chi in Zhengzhou (with Chen Jun, Master Chen Xiao Wang's eldest son) and in Chenjiagou, the Chen village, the birthplace of Tai Chi.

Sam studies in the UK with Karel and Eva Koskuba, who run the Chinese Internal Arts Association and are lineage disciples of Master Chen Xiao Wang. Sam takes every opportunity to enjoy training with Master Chen when he is teaching in the UK. Fascinated by Chen Tai Chi and Yiquan, it is Sam's aim to promote these remarkable arts as widely as possible.When he is not teaching, Sam can usually be found training in the park where he practises for 4 to 5 hours each day.
