SIZHENG TAIJIQUAN COURSES FOR BEGINNERS IN MEERSBURG AT THE LAKE OF CONSTANCE

Sizheng Taijiquan, the Taijiquan of the four main directions, is a contemporary movement method to counteract the health problems that modern people are exposed to due to their environment and living conditions. These range from tension and pain in the shoulders and back, imbalance and stress, to quickly tiring eyes.

Sizheng Taijiquan is divided into 20 movements, with the flow of the movement following the flow of the Taiji character. The movements are easy to learn and their execution is adapted according to age. Sizheng sword and sabre forms can also be learnt later.

This is a rough outline of the teaching process, my lessons are individually tailored to the progress of each participant and may therefore deviate from this schedule.

With this offer in units of 5 dates each, the participants can decide for themselves whether they want to learn and practice this art seriously, because this requires continuous regular learning and training over a long period of time.

I am just starting to teach in Meersburg, but if there is a sufficient number of participants who would like regular lessons, I will be happy to consider a suitable offer.

INFO>>>

For the first participation in one of the courses you will receive the basic work of Chen Taijiquan (Volume 1) "Commentaries on the Graphic Explanations of the Chen Clan Taijiquan" (first edition) worth € 89.50 as a gift. This reduces the actual cost of the first course to €30.50.

This first edition consists of only 2150 books, making it a collector's item that will most likely increase in value over the years. However, its real value lies in its content. When reading, it is essential to follow the reading instructions at the beginning of the book, otherwise you will put it aside after a short time due to its sometimes quite complex content. You start by reading the simple parts and then move on to the more complex ones.
