    What an amazing breath work ceremony with James. I was immediately made to feel at ease and the environment was warm and inviting. We were talked through the process and guided through our breath work. A really healing experience which I’m keen to repeat. Thank you, James!

    Decided I wanted to improve my fitness, but didn't fancy doing the same thing every class. Joined Wu Yin Quan in June 2019, and have thoroughly enjoyed and seen a great improvement in my fitness levels. Shifu (James) Waters is really welcoming. I was a beginner in class with a range of other standards and I feel challenged, comfortable and energised. The classes vary each time - training vital skills and learning new applications and forms. I also study Qi Gong with James. He has helped me connect with myself and learn how to maintain calmness and reduce stress in my day to day life. Thoroughly recommend to study with James Waters!
