Tàijíquán (Tai Chi)

Taichi is often perceived as a gentle form of exercise, but within its graceful movements lies a sophisticated system of martial arts, internal development, and spiritual growth. At our school, we are dedicated to transmitting the authentic Yang style Taijiquan—a lineage that seamlessly integrates health, martial skill, and inner cultivation.

Taichi is about embodying the thirteen core principles, achieving balance, strength, and harmony both internally and externally. Our teaching approach is methodically structured to guide students from foundational skills, such as relaxation (Fang Song) and internal listening (Ting Jin), to advanced martial techniques like neutralising (Hua Jin) and issuing power (Fa Jin). This comprehensive training develops both the internal and external aspects of Taichi, ensuring a well-rounded practice.

You’ll learn the practical applications of every movement, from self-defence techniques to push hands (Tui Shou) drills, ensuring that your practice is not only functional but also deeply rooted in traditional martial principles.

Classes Include

You’ll progress through the system at a pace that aligns with your personal goals. Each class includes:

• Foundational Exercises: Develop essential body mechanics and internal skills through standing meditation (Zhan Zhuang), Qigong, and loosening exercises that prepare you for deeper Taichi practice.
• Forms: Master the traditional Yang style Taichi forms, focusing on their health benefits and martial applications. Each form is taught with an emphasis on internal power, precise movement, and mindful execution.
• Martial Training: Engage in push hands practice, martial drills, and weapon training, all designed to deepen your understanding of Taichi as a complete martial art. This training not only enhances your self-defence skills but also strengthens your connection to the internal principles of Taichi.
