Tai Chi Chuan
Oxford Wudang Taijiquan (太极拳) is not “gentle exercise.” We train Taiji as it was meant to be - martial, demanding, and combat-focused. Expect hard stance work, non-cooperative push hands and real fighting applications.
Our classes are inclusive to all genders and level of experiences, and many of our members were complete beginners when they joined. We also welcome enquiries regarding accessibility arrangements.
牛津武当太极拳并非“轻柔的健身运动”。我们的训练注重实战，以技击为核心。课程包含扎实的身法和步法训练、推手练习以及实战技击应用。我们的课程欢迎不同性别和不同经验水平的学员，许多成员在加入时都是完全的初学者。我们同样欢迎关于无障碍安排的咨询与沟通。

Welcome to the Oxford Tai Ji Quan Club!
Since the late 1980s, the Club has offered in-depth yet friendly instruction to the Oxford community. We teach Taijiquan as a complete martial art, preserving its original combative principles and physical training. Our weekly university class includes partner-based push hands, san shou (free hand sparring), pad work, and traditional hand form practice. Training takes place in the centre’s new Acer Hall, where the high-grip floor is ideal for push hands drills and the fast, twisting movements of our weapon forms. On fine summer days, we often move outdoors to train beside the track and field.
Our instructor, David Baker, has almost 40 years of experience teaching authentic martial Taijiquan. A three-time British Heavyweight Push Hands Champion (1990-92) and 1991 International Champion in Hong Kong, he teaches from direct experience of Taiji as a combat art - not merely a gentle exercise.

欢迎来到牛津太极拳社！
自上世纪八十年代末以来，牛津太极拳社一直为牛津社区提供深入而友好的太极拳教学。我们教授的是完整的实战太极拳，保留其原本的技击原则与体能训练方法。每周的大学课程包括双人推手、散手（自由对练）、靶练以及传统拳架练习。训练地点在体育馆的 Acer Hall，该场地非常适合推手以及武器套路训练。天气晴好时，我们常移至室外，在田径场旁进行训练。
我们的教练 David Baker 有近四十年教授正宗实战太极拳的经验。他曾三度夺得英国推手重量级冠军（1990–1992），并于1991年荣获香港国际推手比赛重量级冠军。他以实战太极的亲身经验进行教学——传授的不仅是“柔和的运动”，而且是真正的太极武学。
