In June 2022 some of our German competition group attended an international Tai Chi competition gaining multipe gold medals in the process.   The biennual Europa Taichi 2022 competition took place in Paris on 17-19 June, 2022 and, as usual, was open to all European countries and all traditional styles of Chinese internal martial arts.

Huge congratulations to all our competitors whether you achieved a medal or not – we are enormously proud of you !

This Tao Yin breathing exercise allows the lungs to be exercised properly.

It helps elasticity of alveoli (air sacs) and supporting tissues.
