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.
Releasing tension is a skill you develop. Taichi teaches you to identify and release tension in your body. This is not always easy, but it is essential. With practice, you become better at recognizing tension and letting it go.
Relaxation allows your energy to flow. Tension blocks energy flow. When you relax your body, energy can flow freely. This supports your health and makes your movements more effective.
Letting go of expectations supports progress. When you let go of expectations about how you should perform, you can focus on simply practicing. This reduces pressure and makes practice more enjoyable.
Release helps you recover. The relaxation you learn in Taichi supports your body's natural healing and recovery. This helps you feel better and move more freely.
Taichi is effective for reducing stress. The combination of movement, breathing, and focus is a proven method for reducing stress. You can use it as a tool to manage stress in your daily life.
The practice changes your nervous system. Regular Taichi practice trains your nervous system to respond to stress more calmly. You become less reactive and more resilient.
Breath anchors you in moments of stress. When you feel stressed, you can use the breathing you have learned in Taichi. A few deep breaths can calm your nervous system and help you regain perspective.
Calmness becomes your default state. Over time, calmness becomes more natural. Taichi helps you establish a calmer baseline state, so you are less easily thrown by everyday stresses.
Your circulation improves. Taichi movements stimulate circulation throughout your body. This brings oxygen and nutrients to your cells and removes waste products. Your overall health and energy improve.
Your muscles strengthen gradually. Without heavy weights, Taichi builds functional strength. This is the kind of strength that supports your daily activities and makes movement easier.
Your joints become more mobile. The movements take your joints through their full range of motion. This maintains and improves joint health and mobility. You will feel more comfortable and capable in your body.
Your balance becomes more reliable. Taichi trains you to maintain stability even on one leg. You build the small stabilizing muscles that support balance.
Awareness is key to Taichi practice. In Taichi, you practice with awareness of your movement, your breath, and your body. This awareness is what makes the practice effective.
The awareness you develop stays with you. The awareness you cultivate in practice carries over into your daily life. You become more mindful of your posture, your breathing, and how you move. This is a lasting benefit.
Awareness leads to better health. When you are aware of your body, you can notice changes and address problems early. This helps you maintain good health and catch potential issues early.
Awareness supports effective practice. When you practice with awareness, you learn more and progress faster. This is why awareness is always emphasized in Taichi instruction.
Create a space for practice. A small, quiet space is all you need. You can practice indoors or outdoors, depending on the weather and your preference.
Set a regular practice time. Having a regular time for practice helps you stay consistent. You might choose to practice first thing in the morning or as part of a calming routine in the evening.
Practice with recordings or on your own. You can practice with a video or simply practice on your own. Both have value.
Invite family members to practice with you. You can practice alone or invite family members to join you. This can be a way to spend time together and support each other's practice.
Practice outdoors when possible. Practicing outdoors can enhance your Taichi practice. The natural environment supports relaxation and mindfulness.
Natural surroundings deepen relaxation. The sights and sounds of nature can help you relax. It is easier to let go of stress when you are in a peaceful, natural environment.
Weather adds variety to your practice. Practicing in different weather conditions can add variety to your practice and help you adapt.
Connecting with nature supports well-being. Taichi connects you to the natural world. This connection is beneficial for your health and well-being.
Morning practice begins your day peacefully. You practice Taichi in the fresh morning air. This peaceful start sets a calm, focused tone for the rest of your day.
Afternoon sessions deepen your skills. Afternoon training allows you to refine your technique and learn new movements. You have the opportunity to deepen your understanding and practice.
Evening practice is a time for review and rest. Evening practice can be shorter and more reflective. It is a time to review what you have learned and let your body rest.
Weekends are for cultural exploration. On weekends, you can explore the local culture. Visiting temples, markets, and other sites can enrich your experience.
