Description

Beijing, China's imperial capital with deep martial traditions, is the perfect place to try China's living martial arts. In this hands-on class a local master teaches you the fundamentals — Tai Chi breathing and slow forms for balance, then a few crisp Kung Fu stances and movements. Suitable for total beginners and all ages, with loose clothing provided, so families, couples and solo travellers can all join in. Your English-speaking guide keeps the pace gentle and easy to follow, and there's no pressure to be perfect. Set in a traditional hutong courtyard near the Temple of Heaven, it's a calming, photogenic and authentically local break from the usual sightseeing.
