Brief description of education
Basic education for Taijiquan instructors takes place in every aspect of Taijiquan: martial, sports, energetic, philosophical and meditative, but above all health. Emphasis is on the original traditional Chenjiagou (Chen) style along with introduction to the styles that arose from Chen, primarily the Yang and Wu styles.
Taijiquan study programs are implemented in accordance with the traditional teachings of Chenjiagou (the Chinese village where Taijiquan was born), the academic guidelines of the CWU (Chinese Wushu Association), the IWUF (International Wushu Federation) and offer comprehensive preparation on both a theoretical and practical level. The practical aspect is the central pillar of the entire training process.
One of the main goals of the education is to provide effective tools and solid professional competencies, necessary for the faithful transmission of the original skills.
