The TaiJi School NZ

Welcome to The TaiJi School NZ, located at 83 Selwyn Street in Auckland, New Zealand. Our institution is a unique establishment that focuses on health and personal growth. If you are searching for a way to strengthen both your body and mind, our Taiji (Tai Chi) practice is the perfect solution.

Taiji is a form of individual and partnered body movements combined with meditation techniques. It aims to enhance the body's strength and bring stillness and resilience to the mind. By attending at least two classes per week, you will develop a conscious relationship between your body and mind. You will notice changes in the way you move and become more thoughtful and contemplative internally.

Mark, our instructor, has been a student of Patrick Kelly since 1982 and has been teaching at his Auckland school since 1992. He has a deep appreciation for the systematic and structured approach to the Taiji path. With 30 years of experience, he is well-equipped to guide you on your Taiji journey.

Our upcoming beginners' classes are starting soon, and we encourage you to attend two classes per week to fully integrate the teachings into your daily life. Each class begins by quieting the everyday mind and awakening the deeper mind through the practice of listening to deep body sensations using the five inner senses. We will teach you the 5 Loosening Exercises of Huang Xingxian, the 37-move Short Form of Cheng Manqing, partner exercises known as Push Hands in the tradition of Master Huang, and conclude with a guided meditation.

The Taiji practice offered at The TaiJi School NZ differs from others in its emphasis on inner evolution and growth. Rather than focusing solely on the physical aspects, we strive to create a stable and accurate foundation for the practice, allowing for refinement over time. This approach fosters a deeper understanding of oneself and personal development.

If you find yourself challenged by the practice or in need of assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to your teacher. Our instructors and experienced students are here to support you and provide guidance based on their own experiences. Whether you face physical, mental, or emotional obstacles, we have the collective knowledge to help you overcome them.

Join us at The TaiJi School NZ and embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth through the practice of Taiji. Contact us today to express your interest in attending our beginner course.
