Yang-Chengfu-Tai-Chi

 

We are a group that practices Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan) and Qigong in Germany. Among us are people from more than 40 countries. Maybe this website will become an online forum for Chinese exercises for health, meditation and martial arts. We are looking for contacts, exchange and meetings. Everyone is welcome to link to this website, whether as an organization / association, school / center, teacher / student, or even companies advertising for their products. See below.

 

 

 

 



 

1. Tai Chi (Taijiquan) and Qigong

Tai Chi and Qigong have many similarities. Both train relaxation both physically and mentally. Properly executed, the slow movements increase the vitality. The positive health effects are scientifically proven by many long-term studies. You do not need any equipment - only comfortable clothes.

1. 1. Tai Chi (Taijiquan)

Tai Chi Chuan means "martial arts according to the highest principle". It is fun and it is healthy! This unique holistic health promotion comes from Chinese martial arts and Taoist meditation. Our group practices the "Long Form with 37 Postures" as taught by Tai Chi Master Yang Chengfu (1883-1936 3rd Generation Yang Family). In the video you can see his son Yang Zhenduo in Hamburg (Germany). This form is not "traditional tai chi", since Yang Chengfu had adapted the original, traditional form of the Yang family by simplifying it at that time around 1930. However, it is not a modern form such as the shortened "Peking Form", developed by the Chinese government, with 24 postures (pictures). Another very well-known form is the short form of Cheng Manching (Zheng Manqing). It also includes 37 postures, but all repetitions were omitted.

1.2.  Qigong

Qigong means "training the life force". It is much older than tai chi. Qigong techniques are isolated single exercises, while tai chi is a fixed sequence of movements. This makes Qigong generally easier to learn. Also, there are static exercises in Qigong without movement (standing mediation). We practice "Health Qigong". These include "Baduanjin" and "Yijinjing". In the video you can see Qigong champion Chen Meixiang. Our program also includes many additional exercises (Shaolin Qigong, Quiet Qigong, Hard Qigong).

2. Teaching / courses / classes / self-study / education

The Chinese health exercises can be practiced alone as well as in the group. When practicing, one tries to improve constantly. Therefore you should pay attention to every detail. Many teachers also continue their education on courses.

2.1. Groups and dates

We would be happy to receive up-to-date information on groups that train Tai Chi and Qigong. We are happy to publish dates for seminars and courses throughout England. So if you are looking for contacts, you should visit this website regularly.

2.2. Self-study / free online lessons

Highly recommended is the self-study (free lessons on the video page). At the moment there is the home study only in German language. We also started our teacher training at home, before we graduated in intensive weeks. On the central website "www.tai-chi-dvds.de" there are more than 50 lessons for free download. You can also purchase any of the DVDs.

2.3. Teacher training for Tai Chi and Qigong

Yang Chengfu Taijiquan certification DTB GermanyAll of us have completed the same Teacher Training at the Tai Chi Qigong organization "German Association for Taichi and Qigong". You can also become a teacher yourself and teach with the support of the German umbrella organization. The classes are, however, only in German. After completing your instruction you will be presented on this website. First you learn with DVDs at home. A teacher certificate is obtained after 4 intensive weeks (from Monday to Friday with a total of 220 hours). It is schedules every three months a week - but only in Germany. Examinations are voluntary. There is also online lessons with Skype.

4. Organizations / associations / associations in England

More and more teachers are joining organizations - a good development for quality, standards and transparency. Is there an association for Tai Chi and Qigong in England? Our group would like to work with other associations. We could also organize joint activities with the association in Germany - Such as mutual membership and certification of teachers throughout Europe.
