Malta University Tai Chi

Xingyi Quan Seminar - Malta

21 - 23 November 2025

Held by Byron Jacobs, this seminar/ workshop will focus on Hebei Xingyi Quan.
Being that this is the first in-person workshop held in Europe, the course will aim to set a solid foundation by introducing key practices, neigong (internal work/qigong), five elements foundations, the five elements linking form, foundational partner work and more.
Depending on the level of experience of the participants, more advanced practitioners will have the opportunity to focus on the twelve-animals practices and their refinement.

We are planning to continue to hold such seminars regularly, with the aim of continual development, refinement and progressive advancement of the art over time.
