Taiji Amsterdam

Taiji quan (Tai chi chuan) is a part of WuShu, the traditional Chinese martial arts. This unique martial art does not rely on muscle strength and speed, but on internal power (qi) and expression (shen). Through focus (yi), good posture, and purposeful movements, you learn to use this energy efficiently. In many parts of China, you can see people practicing taiji quan in the mornings, primarily for health benefits. In training, you develop and direct your vital life energy (qi), improving your posture so that energy can circulate more easily through your body. After a period of intensive practice, you will notice that your body and mind become more relaxed and stable. In Amsterdam, in the heart of the Jordaan, lessons are given to beginners and advanced students.
