Accustomed to teaching in very different contexts (University, companies, associations, individuals), I adapt my teaching to the specific profile of the learner, taking into account their wishes (type of practice) and objectives (performance, health, etc.), their physical characteristics and abilities (height, weight) and their state of health (age, functional limitations), and finally, their motivation (workload they are ready to assume in class and in personal work). As a rigorous and dedicated teacher, I believe that if a student isn't progressing sufficiently, it's because the teaching approach isn't suitable. Therefore, it's essential to create a learning environment that is serious, inspiring, engaging, and so on, depending on the needs of each student. The diverse environments and student populations I've taught have taught me this. And then there's the matter of providing resources as needed: whether it's theoretical texts or customized educational videos, the modern world offers us an endless array of tools! Regarding tai chi, you probably know that there are several styles, which will be used in different ways depending on one's objectives. The Yang style is particularly recommended when practicing primarily for health reasons: the rhythm is uniformly slow, allowing for complete control over movement, calm and safe weight transfer, and improved balance while developing proprioception. The Chen style, on the other hand, is characterized by a more staccato rhythm. It is more explosive, as it relies more heavily on the body's momentum and the re-engagement of external forces (gravity, ground reaction, friction, tension/release). It is better suited when performance is the goal, particularly in combat. Whatever your goals and needs, we will work on your relationship with strength. Strength is essential, of course, in any physical activity: building strength is, in fact, the first step in traditional learning, the one for children; the next two, which lead to lasting expertise—the kind that reconciles performance and health requirements—are more difficult to achieve without proper guidance, and that's where I see my added value. It's beyond strength that I can offer: the optimal use of this precious resource (gaining efficiency by improving its ability to transmit kinetic energy), and the mobilization of other, more subtle, less obvious, but equally concrete external forces (gravity, ground reaction force, friction, tension/release, elastic force, etc.). This is what justifies all the work on body awareness (and proprioception) so central to traditional martial arts. Know that even if the commitment on your part and mine is serious, like martial arts, nothing prevents us from having fun: I also promise you joy, good humor, and lightness, because it is in my nature.

I have extensive knowledge of Chinese culture and customs, having traveled to various cities in China on three occasions, learning firsthand from renowned masters and sharing their daily lives. I have experience leading Tai Chi and Qigong workshops for older adults with varying cognitive abilities, focusing primarily on the therapeutic benefits. I approach my classes with a methodology that adapts to the objectives and needs of the student. We always start the class with a warm-up in which global exercises (organic conditioning and joint mobility) are combined with elongation and stretching exercises. Subsequently, the work of specific techniques (individual and joint) of the discipline is integrated with physical preparation to enhance them. Finally, exercises are carried out to calm down before the end of the class.
