Our summer seminars will take place again this year!
Summer seminar 1: 31.07. – 04.08.2023
Summer seminar 2: 14.08. – 18.08.2023
Summer seminar 3: 28.08. – 01.09.2023

Our courses will be translated into English for our English speaking students!

It’s finally here again! You can register for the summer courses 1, 2 and 3 in the mornings and evenings for beginners and advanced students in Völklingen as soon as possible or pass this information on to friends and acquaintances .

The summer course is intensive martial arts and health prevention in the Taoist sense. Taiji is the unity and balance of body-mind-spirit that manifests itself in the free-flowing life energy of „Chi“ through the body’s meridians.

Balance is always reflected in the yin-yang pathways to the fingertips and toes.

Yin-yang pairs are:

In the hand: lungs – large intestine, cardiac pericate – triple heater, cardiovascular system – small intestine

In the foot: kidney – bladder, spleen – stomach, liver – bile

Tai Chi Chuan stimulates the flow of energy in the meridians and creates a balance between yin and yang in the meridians. This brings a feeling of well-being in the body, creates an alert mind and creates a pleasant stillness .

In the summer course our inner experience deepens and the self-healing powers are activated .

There are a variety of movement exercises for this, either individually or together with a partner ( Tui Shou ).

The positions

  • open the energy channels: stretching and flowing of the yang energy,

Relaxing and gathering the Yin energy.

  • increase the inner awareness and energy flow of chi .

Sometimes we can even feel the inner chi flow.

Performing the positions correctly , practicing in the group and with the teacher reinforces our conscious experience of body, soul, spirit and energy.

The intensity of the summer course enables a wonderful inner energy build-up and activates our self-healing powers .
