I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend a 2-week Tai Chi and Qigong training at the Yangzhou Tai Chi School and I cannot express enough how positively transformative the experience was for me.

From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality by the staff and instructors. The serene and picturesque surroundings of the school provided the perfect backdrop for immersing myself in the practice of Tai Chi and Qigong. The peaceful atmosphere truly allowed me to disconnect from the outside world and focus solely on my personal growth and well-being.

The training itself was exceptional, Master Kim, owner and head instructor was not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also possessed a deep passion for sharing his expertise with us. His patience and dedication to each student's progress was evident in every session.

The daily schedule of 2 two hour sessions were well-structured, allowing for a balanced mix of physical training, meditation, and theory.

Beyond the training itself, the school provided a supportive and inclusive community. I had the pleasure of meeting fellow students from all walks of life, each with their own unique journey and reasons for being there. The camaraderie and shared experiences created a sense of unity and encouragement that further enhanced the overall experience.

The accommodation was clean, comfortable and air conditioned for comfort and our meals were of the highest quality prepared from fresh market produce daily.

Overall, my two weeks at the Yangzhou Tai Chi School were nothing short of life-changing. I left with a renewed sense of balance, inner peace, and a deeper understanding of the profound benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to have trained at such a reputable and authentic school. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and holistic well-being.

Health and harmony

Returning for the third time to this remarkable Tai Chi school in China has once again exceeded all our expectations. From the school itself to the dedicated teachers, the delicious cuisine, comfortable accommodations, and the breathtaking location, everything deserves a solid 5-star rating and more!

Master Kim Wu is a true gem, combining exceptional expertise with a warm and approachable demeanor. His commitment to ensuring our stay was perfect was evident from the beginning. Whether you're a novice or an experienced Tai Chi enthusiast, Master Kim Wu's boundless patience and exceptional teaching style guarantee you'll progress and learn something new each day.

The accommodations are outstanding. The rooms perfectly capture the authentic ambiance of a rural Chinese village while providing all the comforts of the West. Soft beds, workspaces, air conditioning, ventilators, modern bathrooms with Western toilets, and refreshing rain showers—all meticulously maintained and spotlessly clean.

The food is an absolute delight. Prepared fresh daily with locally sourced ingredients, the menu offers a wide variety of options, each perfectly seasoned without overwhelming spice. Vegetarians and vegans will find ample choices, and dietary preferences are readily accommodated.

Nestled in the heart of the UNESCO Heritage-listed Yangshuo Scenic Area, Jima Village is a location that continually leaves you breathless.

There were only three of us in my class, so there was time to correct everyone. Each instruction was comprehensive, ranging from the philosophy of Tai Chi practice to Chinese medicine, a vision of anatomy with a focus on the meridians, and not to mention the holistic theory of the practice. The classes were quiet, with good facilities, in a beautiful setting. My teachers were kind and patient; they helped you develop the postures through your own understanding of your body and energy. You can use the facilities if you wish to practice privately outside of class hours. Respect prevails among the students, who come from different countries and ages. The food was simple but delicious. Free bicycles and washing machines are available. The teachers are always available and willing to answer any questions, from the classes themselves to your outings, logistics, and daily life. Yangshuo is a paradise setting, with incredible landscapes, and there are many activities to do, from hiking to mountain climbing, boat rides on the beautiful rivers, scooter rides around the mountains, shows, and more.
