TAI CHI CHEN Style in combination with the popular 18 SHI BASHI movements

What is the TAI CHI CHEN Style?

This Tai Chi form, called CHEN style, is considered the oldest form of TAI CHI CHUAN, as its origins date back to the 14th century. Until about 150 years ago, this ancient form with its 42 forms was only passed on in China as a secret martial art within the Chen family. The Chen style has distinctive circular and spiral movements that must be performed slowly, gently, but also explosively at times. The beauty of this form is particularly evident in the sinking, the rooting in the earth and the graceful, elegant body presence. It is an effective method for relaxing both physically and mentally, promoting agility and achieving harmony.

What are the 18 SHI BASHI movements?

Around 20 years ago, Dechen discovered the ancient Chinese movement theory and the healing art of Tai Chi and Qi Gong. She was fascinated and decided to train as a teacher with Foen Tjoeng Lie, the well-known Chinese master who lives in Germany.

As particular emphasis is placed on conscious, calm breathing, these slowly performed exercises manage to bring about immediate calm for the body and mind. Some of the movements have their origins in Asian martial arts and therefore appear very aesthetic and elegant.

Practicing these popular 18 episodes of SHI BA SHI Tai Chi / Qi Gong is also suitable for people who want to find a balance to their hectic everyday life at work, as the exercises can be carried out in the smallest of spaces.
