Chen Fake, Chen Zhaokui and Chen Yu<\/a> known to a broader public and - according to Chinese martial arts tradition - to pass it on. We are as committed to the Chinese origins of this art as to the need to teach Taijiquan in a modern society.<\/p>What are we doing?<\/h3>
The aim of our work is the preservation, research, further development and teaching of a high-quality Chen-Style Taijiquan. We teach a complex martial arts system in a friendly atmosphere! Our Chen-style Taijiquan consists of health-promoting and at the same time combative movements. Movements are performed both slowly and explosively. We train the body as well as the mind and cultivate our awareness. In addition to the hand forms, our Taijiquan includes equipment and weapon forms as well as various partner exercises. We are located in Stuttgart and Berlin, but also offer training in many other places internationally. Each chapter has its own independent teachers, we are a network and not a hierarchy. Our students hail from many countries, from Spain to Italy, Germany, Switzerland, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the USA, Maylaysia and more.<\/p>
Why do we exist?<\/h3>
We started our network because of our love and dedication to the Taiji Gongfu Chen Yu teaches. Also as a counterpoint to a martial arts world which is often shaped by individuals and an environment in which it is more about following a so-called \"master\" than an idea of \u200b\u200bmeaningful training. That's why we wanted to work as a community that offers each individual space for development and personal growth and in which skills can be developed and a sincere joy for Taijiquan can be cultivated. Our detailed body and awareness (internal) work enables deep insights into one's own personality. Our vision is to create training locations where we would like to learn Taijiquan ourselves.<\/p>
How are we structured?<\/h3>
Therefore, based on our guidelines and basic values, we have developed a structure for our network that allows all trainers to open and manage their own locations independently and freely, yet with sufficient connection and support from the network. Our network consists of a decentralized structure. In this way we want to prevent a power-oriented hierarchy and promote a competence-based structure. Thereby we hope to combine traditional ideas of a family community and modern concepts of free and independent action in the best possible way and promote our cultural tradition as well as the high-quality practice of our art.<\/p>"},"template":{"id":18425000,"value":"feature"}}},{"id":1173758,"type":"row","published":1,"size":{"x":12,"y":0},"order":2,"items":[{"id":1173759,"type":"pod","published":1,"size":{"x":12,"y":0},"order":0,"items":[],"properties":{"title":{"id":17949886,"value":null},"copy":{"id":17949887,"value":null},"image":{"id":17949888,"value":"{\"src\":\"https:\\\/\\\/images.podos.io\\\/6tkbp4ppoyphbyqnogdhdgmmnxgoedh887wpclt9bc7wey8x.png.png?w=auto&h=auto&fy=0.38709029700901\",\"alt\":\"\"}"},"href":{"id":17949898,"value":null},"borderRadius":{"id":17949899,"value":"#{image.border.radius}"},"overlay":{"id":17949900,"value":"1"},"padding":{"id":17949902,"value":"6"},"fullWidth":{"id":17949903,"value":"0"},"fullBackgroundColor":{"id":17949904,"value":"#fff0"},"conditions":{"id":17949905,"value":"[]"},"ratio":{"id":17949906,"value":"short"},"titleSize":{"id":17949907,"value":"1"},"media":{"id":18424892,"value":"image"},"video":{"id":18424893,"value":"#{video.default}"},"autoplayInBackground":{"id":18424894,"value":"1"},"template":{"id":18427417,"value":"pod"}}},{"id":1198220,"type":"textBlock","published":1,"size":{"x":12,"y":0},"order":1,"items":[],"properties":{"padding":{"id":18427418,"value":"2"},"html":{"id":18427419,"value":"
