Australian Academy of Tai Chi and Qigong

The Australian Academy of Tai Chi and Qigong brings a long-established tradition of gentle, flowing movement to Fortitude Valley, on the inner-northern edge of Brisbane. The academy teaches Tai Chi and Qigong through public, private and corporate classes, with a teaching style rooted in decades of practice and a clear passion for sharing the art with students of every level.

Classes emphasise balance, mobility and wellbeing, with programs geared toward falls prevention and supporting immune system health, making them especially welcoming for older adults and anyone seeking a low-impact path to better movement. Small-group and one-on-one formats let instructors tailor pacing to the individual, while outdoor sessions add variety to the regular timetable.

For those who can't always make it in person, the academy maintains an extensive online library of more than 80 instructional videos plus live-streamed lessons, so practice can continue at home. Long-standing members describe the team as professional and consistent, the kind of school people stay loyal to for years. It's a calm, accessible option for Brisbane locals curious about the meditative, health-focused side of martial arts.
