TAI CHI / QI GONG

MARTIAL ARTS

INSTINCT MARTIAL invites you to discover Taiji Quan (or Tai Chi Chuan). It is a traditional Chinese internal martial art. That is to say that the emphasis is placed on the cultivation of the body, the mind and the breath, in order to develop flexible and fluid movements, as well as an internal power free from tension.

«Tai Chi aims for a practice of health and longevity.»

This course is intended for all those who, whatever their level, wish to learn the practice of Tai Chi. You will benefit from specific and adapted training, as well as an approach dedicated to internal work and the culture of breathing.

What defines Tai Chi?

Tai Chi combines the art of combat with the notions of Taoist wisdom and alchemy. Based on the principles of Yin and Yang, it is an art that skilfully combines mobility and stillness, speed and slowness, strength and flexibility. All Tai Chi movements incorporate balance and harmony of up and down, left and right, forward and back, in continuous, uninterrupted sequences. Each gesture is conscious, fully inhabited by a calm state of mind which infuses the slightest subtleties.

Free trial

J’ai choisi Instinct martial pour les cours de Tai Chi & Qi Gong à. Les enseignants (Youness et Isabelle) sont de très bons pédagogues. Outre le fait d’apprendre les mouvements & routines, j’ai la chance d’apprendre le volet énergétique/libération du stress/mode de pensée ce qui est des plus intéressant ! J’avais choisi ces disciplines pour renforcer la santé de mes articulations et je peux témoigner des bienfaits que j’expérimente (augmenter la mobilité et soulager chevilles; genoux; hanches et région lombaire). Dans une ambiance amicale et respectueuse, j’ai la chance d’améliorer ma santé et d’évacuer avec rapidité une grande quantité de stress.
