European Tai Chi Events
Across the year, Europe hosts a steady calendar of Tai Chi and internal-arts gatherings. This is a short standing guide to the kinds of events worth seeking out.
What to look for
- Summer camps and festivals. Several long-running camps bring teachers from many lineages together for a week of intensive practice.
- Push hands meetings. Friendly, non-competitive gatherings for partner work — see our report from the 2013 meeting.
- Style-specific workshops. Weekend intensives focused on a single form, weapon or aspect of the art.
