Mei Quan Academy of Tai Chi

Learning Tai Chi with Mei Quan

As a result of teaching thousands of students in London over many years, Mei Quan Academy of Tai Chi has developed a highly effective beginners course that enables the student to learn the basic elements of Tai Chi (also written as Taiji or Taijiquan). The course has proven successful in helping beginners to overcome any anxiety or particular difficulties they might have.

Classes entail a mix of warm-up and conditioning exercises, Tai Chi Form, Qi Gong, and Partnerwork.

Form Students first learn the Beijing 24-step Short Form. This highly enjoyable form is the basis of the beginnersÂ’ course. This provides a strong foundation for the learning of the full Long Form in later classes.

Qi Gong Our students learn a variety of easy but highly effective Qi Gong exercises, primarily from the famous ‘8 Pieces of Silk Brocade’ sequence, and the Zhan Zhuang, 28 Steps and Taijigong sequences, which all contribute to improving health and developing awareness of the body’s energy.Other services we provide: Martial Arts Classes
