SJF Kung Fu School provides short-term and long-term authentic Chinese Kung Fu training to international students around the world.
What Is Taichi
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, the 11th-generation inheritor of Chen-style Taichi, which is the oldest and most original of the five primary family styles. Master Shen grew up in a martial arts family and has dedicated decades to preserving these 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.
Authentic Chen-style Taichi forms. You will learn the complete traditional routines that have been preserved for centuries. Master Shen teaches each movement with care, explaining the martial applications and the flow of energy behind every posture. These are not simplified versions created for tourists.
Proper breathing techniques. In Taichi, breath is everything. You will learn to coordinate your breathing with each movement, generating power from within. This skill improves circulation, calms the mind, and makes your movements more powerful and efficient.
Partner exercises like Push Hands. Taichi is not just a solo practice. You will learn to apply your skills with partners, developing sensitivity, timing, and the ability to redirect force. This is where theory becomes real skill, and you begin to feel the martial side of Taichi.
A personal daily practice routine. We do not just teach you in the moment--we give you the tools to continue your practice at home. You will leave with a clear routine tailored to your level, so your training continues long after your course ends.
Learn to generate and control your internal energy. In Taichi, we call this "Qi." Master Shen teaches you specific postures and movements that help you build, store, and direct your energy. This is not just an idea--it is a skill you can actually feel developing in your body.
Turn stress into relaxation. Most of us carry tension in our shoulders, back, and mind. Through Taichi, you learn to release that tension and transform it into relaxed, focused energy. Your movements become smoother, your mind clearer, and your body more responsive to your intentions.
Build energy that supports your whole life. The energy you develop in Taichi does not stay on the training ground. It follows you into your daily activities, improving your focus, patience, and overall health. Many students report sleeping better, feeling less anxious, and having more energy after just a few weeks of practice.
Discover the power of slow movement. Taichi teaches you that slow does not mean weak. Moving with control and awareness builds real strength and endurance. You will find that slow practice requires more skill and concentration than fast movement, and this awareness transforms how you use your energy.
Taichi trains your mind as much as your body. Every movement requires focus and intention. At SJF, we emphasize the mental side of practice, helping you develop concentration and presence that you can use in everything you do. This is what makes Taichi different from regular exercise.
Practice in a setting that calms your spirit. Our school is surrounded by green mountains and clear rivers. Practicing Taichi in the morning sunlight or meditating in the quiet valleys brings a deep feeling of peace. This environment naturally helps you connect your inner world with the world around you.
Move with harmony, not force. In Taichi, we do not use muscle power alone. We use structure, alignment, and relaxation to create strength. This approach teaches your body and mind to work together smoothly, without conflict or tension. You learn to move as one complete unit.
Feel the connection between breath and movement. Every Taichi posture is linked to a specific breath pattern. When you master this connection, you enter a state of flow where your mind and body become one. This is the heart of Taichi practice, and it is what makes the art so deeply satisfying.
Heal your body through gentle movement. Taichi is medicine for the body. Many students come with joint pain, back problems, or balance issues and find real improvement. The slow movements strengthen muscles, increase flexibility, and reduce pain. Breathing techniques massage internal organs and boost immune function. Taichi prevents injuries by teaching body awareness and proper alignment, making it valuable for all ages.
Taichi contains thousands of years of Chinese philosophy. The principles behind the movements come from Daoism, traditional Chinese medicine, and ancient combat strategies. When you study Taichi at SJF, you are learning a complete worldview, not just a set of exercises.
Experience Yin and Yang in your own body. Taichi teaches you to balance soft and hard, fast and slow, stillness and movement. These ideas are not just abstract theories--you feel them directly in your practice. Master Shen explains these concepts in clear, simple terms that anyone can understand.
Learn from a master who preserves this tradition. Master Shen is a descendant of Liuhe Quan and an 11th-generation inheritor of Chen-style Taichi. He grew up in a martial arts family and has decades of experience. When you train with him, you receive knowledge that cannot be found in books or videos. His commitment to preserving these arts ensures that what you learn is real and complete.
Understand the deeper meaning behind the movements. Each Taichi posture has a name and a story. Behind every movement is a principle of combat, health, or philosophy. Learning these meanings enriches your practice and connects you to the rich cultural heritage of China.
Train directly with Master Shen Jiangfei. At SJF Kung Fu School, you learn from a master with decades of experience. Master Shen adapts his teaching to each student's needs while maintaining high standards of skill and integrity. He has earned respect in the martial arts community through his dedication and real achievements.
Receive individual attention in every class. We keep our class sizes small so you get the guidance you need. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced martial artist, Master Shen will tailor your training to your level and goals. This personal approach makes all the difference in your progress.
Join an international community of learners. Our students come from all over the world. You will train alongside people from different cultures and backgrounds, all united by a shared interest in authentic Chinese martial arts. This international atmosphere makes the experience even more rewarding and memorable.
