The Swansea Schools
The Swansea Class started in 2001 at the request of a number of people in the Pontardawe
area. The class format has taken many different forms over the many years but the
content has remained constant, i.e. high quality teaching from one of the more Senior
Instructors of the Taoist Arts Organisation - David Clyant.
David has been practicing the Li Style since 1979 and has been teaching since 1990.
Over the three decades, David has deepened his knowledge of first the Feng Shou
Kung Fu, then the T'ai Chi Ch'uan and also the Chi Shu throwing art of the Li Style.
In addition, David is also a fully qualified and registered Acupuncturist and Tui
Na Master Practitioner - a Chinese Medical Massage system based purely within the
principles and practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine. As the Li Family System
incorporates many Tao Yin and K'ai Men exercises, this in-depth knowledge of the
meridian system used within TCM is invaluable.
