By the end of the five-day course, you will be able to develop internal force, use Taijiquan patterns for combat, and hopefully have a glimpse of Tao. If you regularly practice what you have learnt at the course, you will have good health, vitality, longevity, combat efficiency, mental freshness and spiritual joys.

Some prior experience of Taijiquan, or even Taiji dance, is needed. For those who have been doing Taiji dance, this is an opportunity to convert it into Taijiquan, an internal martial art. On the other hand, advanced practitioners will enhance their internal force, combat efficiency and spiritual cultivation.

To get the best benefits, it is advisable to learn the Twelve Basic Taijiquan Combat Sequences before the course. You can learn the 12 Combat Sequences step by step by clicking here
