Keith J Abraham Internal Arts

I met Keith by chance in the summer of 2012.After being diagnosed with many autoimmune conditions, I wanted a gentle way back into training (I am ballet teacher). Swimming, Gym Pilates etc were still too much or in my view boring. And Ballet of course was far to strenuous at the time.So I tried Tai Chi with Keith. It was an immediate second passion!I have been training with Keith ever since in his Tai Chi, QiCong and Internal Arts practices, face to face and online.Keith is not only extremely kind as you can read in the other reviews, but also very knowledgeable of his disciplines. He has a gift for explaining complex concepts which make his classes priceless.I truly recommend him to anyone looking to self-care.

During the second lockdown, I found myself vulnerable and isolated. This allowed for trauma accumulated in a lifetime to re-emerge.Personally I have already been through the system of talking therapies, medication and institutions. It just didn’t feel necessary or the right thing to do.During lockdown, I reached out to Keith and embarked on his RAAT programme. This method has had a profound effect on me. Treating the body, in turn treats the mind along with breathing properly for the first time.It’s made me compassionate towards myself, healed old wounds and an optimistic outlook for the future.I can honestly say, this process is changing my life and will continue to do so.Thank you Keith.

My life is better for having met Keith and joining his Resilience Training program. As an entrepreneur in the times of COVID, I've been struggling with anxiety and lack of resilience. With so little certainty in the world right now, I was looking for something to help me regain a sense of groundedness and inner fortitude. Keith's program with his sensitive and wise approach to coaching has helped me improve both my physical and emotional sense of resilience, as well as also offered a renewed sense of connectedness to my own self and the world around me.What is great about working with Keith and his program is how practical and results-oriented his approach is while simultaneously tapping into the perennial wisdom of meditative and martial arts practices.The caveat is that you will have to work hard, no shortcuts here. This program is not some miracle, get-fit-quick scheme. You will have to push yourself beyond your physical and emotional limits. Having Keith as a guide on this journey, knowing his background in the military and investment banking, is a reassurance of walking through these new inner territories with a man who's traversed the landscapes thoroughly and knows how to predict and navigate around hidden road bumps and mental traps as they arise.Thank you, Keith! I will be recommending this program to all my entrepreneur friends who are looking to develop a stronger sense of resilience in the ever-so uncertain world.

Over the course of a few months, my Tai Chi sessions took my mental wellbeing from a stable and okay state to one of genuine satisfaction. During this time I was also able to cultivate a passion for internal martial arts, improve my core strength, balance and fitness, learn my first Tai Chi form with endless room for growth, and develop the understanding required to make real, independent progress in this form wherever I am and however I’m feeling. And to be led on this journey by such a supportive, understanding and flexible teacher who commands my utmost respect and appreciation. Thank you, Keith.

I cannot thank Keith enough for helping me. As well as being an excellent Tai Chi instructor, which is where I met him, he is calm, patient and kind. Over the years I have looked for help with my mental health issues. Doctors prescribed medication, I’ve seen NHS therapists but none of this helped me. Thankfully I found Keith! Through our weekly sessions, he has given me the tools that enable me to continue my day to day living and face issues that may arise, no matter how big or small. The advice and help he gives to me is invaluable. The help that Keith gives will be something you carry with you for the rest of your life. He is truly a lifesaver and I will be forever grateful to him for helping me with my journey to recovery and to love myself once again.

I thoroughly recommend Keith's Tai Qi class: it improves relaxation, flexibility, posture, and breathing. Classes are an absolute bargain and there is also the opportunity for 121 classes outside of this. Keith is also a friendly and attentive 'shifu'!
