After completing his diploma, he gained experience working with the Luton University football team.

With over 20 years of experience, Sahu has trained extensively in a diverse range of therapeutic techniques, including Myofascial Release, Harmonic Therapy, Muscle Energy Techniques, Deep Tissue Massage, Lymphatic Drainage, Spinal Manipulation, Cranial Release, and Reflexology, among others.

His treatments focus on releasing musculoskeletal tension and correcting imbalances, allowing for a natural harmonisation of the body’s energy flow.

Beyond hands-on therapy, Sahu offers a comprehensive holistic approach that includes Tai Chi and Chi Gong exercise prescriptions, meditation, breathwork, affirmations, dietary guidance, and movement-based recovery techniques. His method is designed not just to treat symptoms but to empower individuals on their journey toward self-healing and well-being.

Through years of dedicated research into biomechanics, fascia, and energy systems, Sahu has developed his own specialised therapeutic approach known as JusTouch Compression Therapy, a method that balances structural integration with the energetic field to promote long-term healing, balance and vitality.

For almost a year, Sahu has helped me to regain strength and stability in my knee after bad injury. The practice of Chi Gong and more internal arts have also helped to settle my mind. It has also helped me to better deal with panic attacks through focused breathing practices and meditations.

There is a good balance between Tai Chi for practical application, and Tai Chi for mental well being, and a very broad course with a manual, online portal and belt grading system for those who wish to learn the discipline as a way of life. There is a strong community of students of different backgrounds and levels willing to help eachother improve.

Practice outside of class is encouraged, and after a few weeks it will eventually become a habit.

I feel fortunate to have found Ptah Khi School at a time when I was looking to return to a path of healing and well-being through a martial discipline. It’s a full-spectrum school, covering everything from meditation and Qi Gong to effective self-defence.
Out-of-school practice is encouraged and supported with a comprehensive manual, online videos and digital tutorials.

Much gratitude to Ptah Khi School

The instructor Sahu has a vast knowledge of the body and it’s movements. He takes time to explore one’s ability and guides the students to understand themselves and nuture their energy and strength. Physical skills are enhanced for all ages, breathing techniques for better focus along with self defense. Looking for a Tai Chi class the community is very supportive and we learn from each other with Sahu and his team.

This Tai Chi school has exceeded my expectations in every possible way. What makes it so special is how deeply holistic the practice is — seamlessly combining Qi Gong, martial arts, meditation, and a profound understanding of human physiology.

It has transformed not only how I move, but how I understand my body, my mind, and my place in the world.

Physically, I’ve developed greater agility, flexibility, balance, and awareness of my own capabilities in a way that feels both empowering alongside my previous martial arts training but also gentle.

The learning goes far beyond technique; it builds a true relationship with the body, grounded in understanding rather than force.

Spiritually, the practice has been truly life-affirming. Through meditation, breath, and an awareness of energy, I’ve learned to ground myself, to see the bigger picture, and to feel more connected — not just to myself, but to the people and world around me. There is a depth here that invites reflection, presence, and a sense of meaning that extends well beyond the class itself.

Emotionally, this school has become a vital point of regulation in my week — a genuine pause and safety brake when life, work, and health can feel overwhelming. It offers a rare space simply to be: to slow down, reflect, and share space with others who are on their own journeys of discovery. Whether in the middle or at the end of the week, it consistently brings a sense of calm, balance, and peace that I carry with me long after the session ends.

Sahu is an exceptional teacher and guide on this journey. He brings together his knowledge of physiotherapy and how the body truly works with the ancient wisdom of Tai Chi and Qi Gong, enriched by a deep spiritual awareness informed by other Asian traditions.

The result is something genuinely special — a practice that is intelligent, compassionate, and deeply human. Week by week and month by month, it continues to support my growth on every level, and I am profoundly grateful to be part of it.

Ime fortunate to be attending Tai Chi classes close to home. Sifu is a knowledgeable instructor. The community of students in his school are dedicated and helpful. Since I joined Sifu's classes I have continued to catch up with the benefits of chi gong which Ive learnt on my stress management journey over the years.

I’ve had a really great experience training at Ptah Khi for the last three months. The instructors clearly know their art, and have a deep understanding of Tai Chi, but they’re also very patient, welcoming, and easy to learn from. You never feel rushed or out of place, no matter your level. Sahu and his team really take good care to understand their students, and help them improve.
The vibe is relaxed and friendly, and the community is genuinely supportive. Everyone’s approachable, which makes training enjoyable and motivating.
I’ve also noticed real positive changes in both my mental and physical health since starting — less stress, better focus, improved balance, and just feeling better overall. It’s been a really positive addition to my routine.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for proper Tai Chi in a welcoming environment.

This is an excellent school for traditional martial arts. It has a deep wealth of wisdom and a very old lineage of authentic Wudang Taiji chuan with a very robust hand form that is an absolute gem for anyone, beginner to advanced practitioners and even people that have already done martial arts for decades. Speaking from experience it's rare to find a real traditional school with such attention to detail in their hand form. Not to mention a playful community and spirit of students that absolutely thrive in national competitions taking home many achievements.

Tai chi has been a wonderful way to connect my body and mind as a young adult. It helped to further my understand of physically and spiritual anatomy. With a whirlwind of health benefits and teaching you a range of self defence skills. Building my determination which I have used throughout my life experiences. It has been an all around wonderful experience and journey that I am happy to have taken with the Ptah khi school, highly recommend 😉

My children have been attending Tai Chi for several years, and this has helped increase their focus, mental health and sense of self. They have had opportunities to lead sections of the class and see their progress over time. It has supported their confidence in self-defence but also learn the history of the art and how to apply the principles in their everyday life.

One definition of stress is that it’s a mis balance of the PERCEIVED demands of a situation and your PERCEIVED ability to cope. Tai Chi has calmed me down and given me focus so that adverse situations are no longer so dramatic and breathing has helped me more accurate realise my talents. Plus classes are fun and v social !

My body issues is l have sciatica in both of my posterior. And l have hip flexor problems one side of my body is stronger than the other. Learning this form of discipline has improved my hip flexor mobility and my overall flexibility in leaps and bounds. The ba duan jin movement we practice in class uses various movements that work on various internal organs in the body to support a healthy body. l practice ba duan jin on a regular basis for my fitness journey.
