Next Workshops & Intensive Taiji Courses in Berlin
Deepen or broaden your skills with a more intensive format
Intro Course January 2026
Our new beginners’ course starts on January 6th, 2026. There are only 5 spots, so it’s best not to wait until the last minute to book!
Our Taijiquan brings together the physical, energetic, and meditative aspects in a rich and holistic approach – in short, it strengthens both body and mind. It’s not as easy as it looks, and the training can be intense. But in return, Taiji can transform you deeply and positively, including your health. Taiji qualities can be applied in daily life, and real skill should be cultivated with patience over a very long period – that is the meaning of „Gongfu“.
Bonus for participants::
- The course includes a trial month (meaning you can attend all our other classes during these seven weeks).
- The following workshop on 31.01.2026 on Section 1 of the form is offered at a 20% discount.
- The first month of any Abos is also discounted by 20%.
Classes are taught in German and/or in English if needed.
4 sessions: Tuesdays on January 6, 13, 20, and 27, 2026.
Price: 75€
Registration: via E-mail to info[at]chenfamilygongfu.com
Form Training Workshop (Section 1)
Saturday, Januar 31, 2026, 10am - 1pm (3 hours)
On this day, we will work through the first section of our first form, Gongfujia Yilu, with plenty of repetitions, detailed explanations, and regular opportunities for individual corrections and questions. The first section can also be seen as a standalone short form of our style. All levels are welcome at the workshop. It can be a great starting point for beginners who want to explore our style, and it provides more advanced students an opportunity to work with familiar movements while focusing on improving their body mechanics. Please bring a water bottle!

Taijiquan: you’ll have warm-ups, movement awareness training, qigong and form practice in this class. Some partner exercises may be occasionally on the agenda, but we are mostly focusing on solo work. All levels, beginners welcome. There is always some time put aside for individual training or partner exercises. Whatever the level of skill, you can reap the health and mental benefits of our training (improved balance, mobility, strengthening, grounding, calmer mind) and hone your skills, get new input or feedback, learn new movements. Read more about our training.
Tuishou/Partner work: this is a taiji class dedicated to partner work, where you can put the skills acquired during solo work to the test. We apply Taiji principles to "push-hands" (tuishou) routines, exercises, form applications (yongfa) and formatted sparring. We aim to slowly build skills for self-defense and fighting, we are NOT fighting to build skills! those skills can only be developed within a safe training culture.
