Partner work in Taijiquan
Saturday, November 8, 2025, 10am - 1pm (3 hours)
Here you can train the basics of partner work in Taijiquan. In this workshop series, we introduce a few theoretical concepts from the Taiji fighting method, connect them with the desired Taiji qualities through formatted partner exercises, and conclude with more classic Chen-style partner routines or freer variations. Whether you're a beginner or already have some experience, you're sure to learn something and work on your gongfu!
Partner work means training together, not showing off.
50€, limited spots. Contact me to register or ask for information.

Taijiquan: you’ll have warm-ups, movement awareness training, qigong and form practice in this class. Some partner exercises may be occasionally on the agenda, but we are mostly focusing on solo work. All levels, beginners welcome. There is always some time put aside for individual training or partner exercises. Whatever the level of skill, you can reap the health and mental benefits of our training (improved balance, mobility, strengthening, grounding, calmer mind) and hone your skills, get new input or feedback, learn new movements. Read more about our training.
Tuishou/Partner work: this is a taiji class dedicated to partner work, where you can put the skills acquired during solo work to the test. We apply Taiji principles to "push-hands" (tuishou) routines, exercises, form applications (yongfa) and formatted sparring. We aim to slowly build skills for self-defense and fighting, we are NOT fighting to build skills! those skills can only be developed within a safe training culture.
