“Internal arts always looked like magic to me, believing in it but not believing in my ability to to achieve that level.
For a long time, I couldn’t find an accessible teacher until I ran into CHI SKILLS. It finally looked like something on my level of understanding. Something achievable. 5 days of workshop with Didi and Armand allowed me to take the first peek at what’s behind the curtain of the Internal Arts.
Down to earth explanations, basic practice, partner work and my eyes started to open to the capabilities hidden there.”

"My experience at the summer workshop was truly memorable. The sessions were meticulously planned and moved at a brisk pace, keeping us fully engaged. Armand and Didi, our instructors, were not only knowledgeable, but also incredibly engaging. They imparted the foundational principles for higher-level skills in Tai Chi, which are often overlooked by many teachers.
Amidst our dedicated practice, the highlight of each day was undoubtedly Didi's delectable vegetarian lunches, which added a delightful touch to our learning experience. The opportunity to engage in partner work with fellow attendees was equally rewarding. We had numerous 'aha' moments, making profound connections and revelations that left a lasting impact.
Reflecting on the workshop, I couldn't help but wish I had attended it 30 years ago. The insights gained would have undoubtedly propelled me much further along my path. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone seeking a transformative and enlightening experience in Tai Chi."

"Before I was fortunate enough to meet Armand and Didi (and their greyhound Nathan), I had only practiced Chi Kung alone at home. Whilst I was able to follow Armand's videos, I wasn't sure, if I was doing it the 'right' way as I had no direct feedback.
The workshop itself leaves you with a strong grasp on the fundamental Chi Kung concepts, with enough room for you to ask deeper questions on any topic. There's plenty of hands-on practice in the nearby park and most days Didi prepares a DELICIOUS healthy meal for lunch which keeps you energised throughout the afternoon session. Armand is very patient and has a lot of time for his students to make sure they are holding correct posture and engaging their chi throughout the movements. This is exactly what I needed to have confidence in knowing I was doing the right thing when I went back to training at home.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time training with Armand and Didi, they are two of the nicest and most authentic people that I have met and clearly have a wealth of knowledge on many topics. I highly recommend signing up for this workshop. :)"
