Tai Chi Chuan Weekend Courses 2024

A weekend class offers an excellent entry into the fascinating art of Tai Chi Chuan and a great opportunity to learn the basic forms and skills. You can attend this course either as a standalone course or in combination with the evening class.

During this weekend course

...we will start with the essence of traditional Tai Chi Chuan: you learn to relax, to stay focused and generate an energy flow.

Then you will learn the stances, how to practice stance training (Zhang Zhuang), move with those stances and learn the core of many Tai Chi Chuan sets, the form "Grasping Sparrow's Tail". You will also get a glimpse of its application for self-defense. Depending on the class we might even add additional patterns to complete the form "Cloud Hand Set".
During the course we will also briefly look at the history and principles.
