Sun Lu Tang

Sun Jian Yun

Fenhuang (Phoenix) is the name of the clubs formed by Wendy Sutcliffe dedicated to teaching the Traditional 97 Step Sun Family Form of Tai Chi Chuan  in the East Yorkshire area.

Wendy  is approved as an Instructor in the Sun form by David Martin, President of the Sun Taijiquan Organisation, and also as an intermediate instructor with the Tai Chi Union of Great Britain. She started studying Tai Chi Chuan six years ago and has trained in the Shaolin Chuan Fa style, and also has Instructor status in that style,  incorporating Chi Kung, Ba Duan Jin, and Sun Tien.

The Sun form is very suitable for people with a wide range of health issues. The stepping techniques, continuous movement, higher stances  and breathing techniques so characteristic of the Sun Form, mean that training this form of Tai Chi Chuan is not only possible but most enjoyable.


Wendy was invited to China by her Instructor Carl Bateman, in recognition of her practice, where she was privileged to train with Master Zhang Zhen-hua . Wendy received intensive training in the Sun Style elements of Taijiquan Form, Sword Form, Xing Yi, Baghuazhang, and Push Hands from Master Zhang and some of his colleagues..


We are pleased that we can offer training in Classes, Private Tuition, and Corporate Training to suit your circumstances. Also we would be interested in hearing from anyone, having completed a short Sun form, wishing to extend their experience to study the full Traditional Sun 97 Step form.
