2-day Workshop:
Form Training (Section 3)
Starting to learn the third section of our First Road usually means you are no longer a beginner. Section 3 contains more complex movements, intricate sequences, and many twists and turns — which is also why it is a lot of fun.
We will go through the section in 2 morning sessions (Saturday and Sunday). Expect repetitions, explanations - there will be room for individual corrections and questions. We'll include some applications.

Taiji Primer:
Everything you wanted to know about Taiji (but were afraid to ask) + Trial Month
Start the year and your practice with an open, clear-headed look at what Taiji really is.
This two-hour session is designed for anyone curious about developing a detailed, challenging and powerful practice.
We will start with an open conversation. Bring your keywords, questions and expectations – we’ll explore them together, maybe clear up misconceptions and share our personal approach to the art. To ensure everyone gets enough space and individual attention, this event is limited to 6 spots.
What We Will Cover:
• A casual Q&A to discuss everything you always wanted to know about Taiji.
• A practical, hands-on look at basic structural and alignment requirements.
• Learning your very first movements of the form and exploring one or two practical applications.
• Wrapping up the physical work with a single, grounding Qigong routine.
Prices:
30€: Primer only (standalone 2-hour event)
60€: Primer + Full Trial month (includes the Intro session plus 4 weeks of regular classes)

Weekly Chen-Style Taiji Classes
Class description
A typical class includes a warm-up, some awareness training, sometimes a qigong routine or two, as well as our core practice (basics and form). We usually focus on solo work, but partner exercises or a martial application may occasionally be added. The class also offers individual space to work on movements, receive feedback and learn new material — more so on Thursdays.
