by Pawel Mueller on 2020/07/27

It’s the fourth year since we started the European Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method Meet-Up Series. It continues this year close to Żywiec, Poland on September 12/13th. This years host is Damian Jagosz, who is a very dedicated student of our style.

4th European Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method Meetup. This year in Żywiec, Poland.

Everyone interested in Taijiquan is welcome. There will be enough instructors to lead beginners classes as well as more advanced training. Through practicing together, many questions we have can be answered.

In Hong Junshengs Book, Translated by Master Chen Zhonghua there is this poem:

…You also need
To have good friends
With friends
You can help each other
                                                         Hong Junsheng from Learning

This is basically what this meetup is about.

Let’s practice together!

This usually sounds easy, but this year is special. We will of course take necessary steps to protect us against covid-19. Since movement and outdoor activities strengthen the immune system, practicing Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method is a good way to keep us healthy.

For more information just drop us an email to practicalmethod.europe@gmail.com or contact us in the english WeChat group (contact Pawel, Vienna or Damian Jagosz there)

Rough Schedule

During the last view Meet-Ups we figured out, that it would be best, to stay together in one place. This way nobody has to leave and we can continue to practice and to exchange up until late.

This kind of staying together is also very deep in the polish tradition. So Damian will pick a place where we can be together and continue our exchange during a campfire and while watching the same stars that Chen Fake watched during his training.

Friday evening:

     Get-Together in Żywiec to get to our secret training camp.

Saturday:

     Daqing Shan training schedule:

          6:30am Earlymorning training: 10 Yilus; Foundation set; Partner exercises

          Early morning training like on saturday, breakfast and then free training, talking, trying, experimenting. Some might need to leave after lunch. For those who don’t we can do more Yilus and all that other stuff in the afternoon as well or do touristic things.

We are pretty sure that such a get-together will boost our understanding by lightyears.

There is no fee for this event, but we will share the costs among all participants equally. If we are 30 people the costs per person will drop below EUR 20,-

ohh yeah: If you are not sure whether to participate or not, here’s a pro tip: Simply DO IT!
