About taijicircle
taijicircle is a traditional Tai Chi school in Nerang on the Gold Coast, teaching authentic Hong Chen style Taijiquan in a friendly, close-knit setting. Students describe an environment where the instructor is passionate and deeply knowledgeable, and where senior students happily help newcomers, creating an encouraging atmosphere that keeps people coming back week after week.
The practice goes well beyond gentle movement. Alongside the foundational long form, classes progress through canon fist and elbow routines, Hao style, and a range of weapons including straight sword, double swords and short staff, with attention to the martial applications behind each form. As students often note, the forms build not only physical strength and balance but new mental and neurological connections through subtle, deliberate movement.
With small classes offering plenty of one-on-one time and a genuinely welcoming community, the school suits beginners curious about Tai Chi as well as those wanting to train an authentic lineage seriously. For Nerang and Gold Coast locals after a mindful, skilful and traditional martial art, taijicircle offers a rare and rewarding place to learn.
