Real Taoism - Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Ba Gua classes workshops and retreats in London, UK and France

Tai Chi (Hun Yuan)
Our approach

Tai Chi Chuan does not rely on physical exertion or the use of force. Tai Chi's emphasis lies instead in the application of the mind to direct the body through slow movements. These choreographed movements enable whole body relaxation which in turn permits the engagement of deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.

The internal gymnasium

Most exercise systems in the West appeal to the ego and the vanity of consumers hynotizedf by the media which ultimatly leads to an overempahasis on looking good over feeling well and beimg truly healthy. th.

Exact Science

TCC is an exact science of physical culture, a fusion of classic martial forms with the energy work of Taoist Qi Gong. TCC is an advanced form of QG (energy work) that can be practiced by anyone of any physical ability, age, gender, religion and ethnic background.

Basics

Core exercises - warm ups ( referred to classically as Nei Gong –Internal exercises ) these create a basic physical template from which you can create a seamless array of functional movements.

Form practiceThe practitioner applies intelligent bio-mechanics in a continuous sequence to super charge you body and its energy.

Optional training - Functional exercises, push hands and  application - two person co-operative exercises that help to develop fluidity, power and sensitivity, including learning the meaning and application of the form.

Health

TCC can mitigate structural and energetic imbalances, increase awareness and develop personal strength and flexibility leading to control over energy levels. All these attributes bring about a positive mental state as a result. TCC practice improves you with age, uses no special equipment and is a superior health system.  Overall systemic health, for specific benefits please enquire via email.
