Hey guys,
Thought I would try something new where we take an excerpt from a Martial Edge exclusive interview and discuss it. The interview was conducted by freelance writer Oli Nejad with the very passionate Matthew Rochford.

Matthew Rochford: Yes, it is my latest and potentially biggest project to date. Having made my Tai Chi School the biggest in the region, the next level was to create something that was not provincial and was free from any politics- something contemporary and relevant. Most people have no interest in what style of tai chi you do, what organisation you belong to or what lineage you have, they just want something accessible and useful, no strings attached. There is a real lack of marketing nouce within the tai chi world, and at times the perception is that the tai chi world is abstract, cliquey, too traditional, “anoraky” and out of step with the mainstream- which explains why it is lagging way behind arts such as Yoga and Pilates in terms of popularity.
What are peoples thoughts?
