Severin Berz

Taiji | Tuishou | Body Awareness

Severin shares his 20 years long experience with meditation, body awareness and perception which he applies to Taiji and Push-hands.
After some years of Bagua Zhang practice with Master Han Yanwu he was blessed with the great opportunity to intensely practice Taiji with Ghislain de Taillandier who also pointed him towards Master Sam Tam. Meeting with Sam Tam allowed him to experience the Taiji principles in the most refined way and to have a clear direction to lead his practice towards.
Severin likes to help people to refine their awareness of subtle energetic, perceptual and postural settings and integrate them in their own technical background.

Ghislain de Taillandier

Taiji | Tuishou

Ghislain shares his experience and joy of Tai Chi which he enjoys since the early eighties. He studied with various teachers until 2002 when he met Master Liu Yongqian who was a direct student of Master Wu kung Cho the grandson of the Wu style founder Wu Chuan Yau. In 2015 he studied with Sifu Fong Ha until he’s passing. For the last 2 years he is blessed by meeting Master Sam Tam. 

Jean-François de Taillandier

Qi-Gong

Jean François began practicing Martial Arts at a very young age with Judo, Karate and Thai Boxing. Tai Chi, which he discovered during a course with Master Wang Yen-nien and his students including Mr. Serge Dreyer, was a revelation due to the different orientations of practice that it offers. But it was the meeting with Master Su Dong Chen and his student Mr. Nicolas Ivanovitch that was decisive due to the richness and coherence that he offers in internal work.
In addition, the study of Chinese medicine for several years led him to deepen the practice of Qi Gong, in particular with Mr. Jean-Michel Chomet, himself a student of many masters.
Jean-François is happy to share his modest experience and to contribute to everyone being able to free their body and loosen the grip that the mind often exerts on it.
