Many Taijiquan Masters are not the real thing in Asia nowadays. I have tried many schools and very few have a syllabus or any useful martial arts/self defense knowledge. If you are truly seeking a proper Master then you have to develop a very discerning eye and be prepared to try out many, many classes in the quest for the true.



Self Defense Courses are good fun because they allow a woman the opportunity to practice concerns that are aimed directly at women fighting men.

Wearing office attire for Gongfu class is great. Initially there is a feeling of vulnerability and exposure but after a while this wears off and I feel confident using my legs to fight.

Women often feel intimidated by the martial arts and this is usually because they pick the wrong art. Taijiquan is perfect because machismo is not required.

Taijiquan makes women more womanly and men more manly

I like that Taijiquan gives me so much energy.
