Master Zhang Aijun
Originally from Henan in China, Master Zhang was introduced to the martial arts at an early age. He followed the teachings of several masters of the Shaolin and Wudang schools. He worked with each of them following a very traditional teaching.
Contrary to modern teaching as we know it today, it was an apprenticeship in a privileged relationship with a Master who was part of a lineage and family relations. He thus deepened his learning with Master Wang Qing Sheng (Zhaobao style Taiji Quan) and Master Wang Xian (Chen style Taiji Quan).
He holds numerous diplomas and titles won in his native land and was several times champion in different disciplines of Wushu and Tuishou.
Master Zhang began teaching as an official instructor of young residents of the famous Taoist monastery in the Wudang Mountains. His apprenticeship illustrates his attachment to the traditional forms of Taiji Quan.
Strengthened by this experience, Master Zhang then embarked on a new adventure which brought him to Paris. There he trained many students, notably in traditional Zhaobao Taiji Quan, of which he is the only master in France. He also teaches sticks, swords and small monk's boxing. As a coach, he led a French team to the first international Wushu competitions in Zhengzhou (Henan China) in 2004, which was ranked first and won several medals.
Master Zhang seeks to spread this philosophy of life and this discipline to as many people as possible and is regularly invited by associations throughout France, Corsica and Reunion Island.
