SJF Kung Fu School provides short-term and long-term authentic Chinese Kung Fu training to international students around the world.
Taichi, also known as Tai Chi Chuan, is a traditional Chinese martial art that combines slow, flowing movements with deep breathing and mental focus. At SJF Kung Fu School, we teach Taichi as a complete system for developing body, mind, and spirit. Our school is led by Master Shen Jiangfei, who grew up in a martial arts family and has dedicated decades to preserving authentic teachings. Unlike commercial schools that simplify or water down the art, we maintain the full traditional forms and philosophies passed down through generations. Our international students from Germany, the UK, the United States, and many other countries have experienced the depth of our training firsthand.
Taichi is often called "meditation in motion." But at SJF, it is much more than that. It is a practical martial art, a health practice, and a philosophical system all in one. The slow, graceful movements you see are actually powerful techniques for generating internal energy, improving balance, and developing self-defense skills. When you learn Taichi with us, you are not just copying movements---you are understanding the meaning and application behind each posture.
You begin exactly where you are. No previous experience is needed. You start with simple movements and build gradually. The pace is comfortable and responsive to your ability. Your only requirement is an open mind and willingness to learn.
Your practice develops with you. As you grow, so does your Taichi. Over time, your practice becomes deeper, more subtle, and more rewarding. This development is natural and continuous.
Beginners are welcomed and supported. Our classes are inclusive and welcoming. Students at all levels train together, creating a supportive environment where beginners learn from observing advanced practitioners.
Short-term or long-term, you will progress. Even a short course provides meaningful benefit. You will leave with skills that you can continue to develop at home. Longer courses allow deeper immersion and more comprehensive progress.
There is no rush. Taichi learning is gradual and consistent. This gradual approach works well because Taichi involves developing habits that take time and repetition to internalize.
Your teacher adjusts to your speed. Master Shen observes your progress and adapts his guidance accordingly. He helps you to progress steadily without pressure. You will feel supported and encouraged as you learn.
Comparing yourself to others is not useful. Every student develops at their own pace. Some progress quickly, others more slowly. This is natural and expected. Your journey is your own.
Consistency matters more than speed. Daily practice produces the best results. Even if you progress slowly, consistent practice will eventually produce skill. This is why small, regular practice is more effective than irregular long sessions.
Taichi practice becomes a natural part of your day. Once established, Taichi practice fits easily into daily routines. It becomes something you look forward to, not an obligation. This integration makes the practice sustainable.
Taichi principles apply everywhere. The principles you learn in Taichi---balance, relaxation, awareness---are useful in all activities. You can apply them when sitting, standing, walking, or working. This extends the benefits of practice throughout your day.
Taichi supports your other activities. Taichi complements other physical activities. It improves your balance, coordination, and flexibility, which can enhance performance in sports and other physical pursuits.
Taichi helps you rest and recover. The relaxation techniques you learn in Taichi help you rest and recover more effectively. This is especially valuable if you have a physically demanding job or lifestyle.
Quality of practice is more important than quantity. A focused fifteen-minute practice is more valuable than an hour of distracted practice. You should strive to practice with full attention and clear intention.
Regular, short practice is best. Consistency is more important than duration. A short practice every day is more effective than a long practice once a week. This is why we encourage daily practice even if only for a short time.
Focus on feeling, not form. While correct form is important, the feeling of the movement is more important. You should practice with awareness of how each movement feels, not just what it looks like.
Progression is gradual. You will not become skilled overnight. Taichi is a lifelong practice. Progress is gradual and steady, with each small improvement building on the last.
Taichi is a form of self-care. In our busy lives, taking time for ourselves can feel optional. Taichi provides a way to care for yourself that is also productive. You are not just resting; you are actively improving your health.
The practice develops self-compassion. When you practice, you learn to accept yourself as you are. You also learn to care for yourself consistently and gently, developing self-compassion through regular, intentional practice.
Taichi honors your body's limits. You learn to listen to your body and respect its limits. This is a form of self-care that prevents injury and supports long-term health.
It supports mental health. The mental benefits of Taichi---reduced stress, better concentration, emotional balance---are essential for mental health. Taichi supports both the mind and body.
The benefits of Taichi extend beyond practice time. The calm, focused awareness you develop during Taichi practice carries over into the rest of your day. You will find yourself more present, more patient, and more relaxed in daily activities.
Taichi influences how you approach challenges. The principles of Taichi help you face challenges with greater calm and clarity. You learn to move through difficulties with the same fluid grace you practice in your forms.
Taichi teaches you to enjoy the process. In Taichi, the process itself is valuable. Each practice is an end in itself, not just a means to an end. This appreciation of process enriches all areas of your life.
The practice reveals new insights continuously. Because Taichi is a lifelong practice, there is always something new to discover. This continuous revelation keeps the practice fresh and interesting. It also ensures that the practice continues to be rewarding over time.
