Course Management : Bùi Xuân Quang (Parigi) - Assistant: Tiziana Castelluccio (Parma)

Bùi Xuân Quang, Bùi Xuân Quang is a man of two cultures, oriental and occidental. He was born in 1941 in Vietnam, and arrived in France as a teenager where he experienced all the changes that shaped today's landscape of martial arts in Europe. He started practising Karate as early as 1957, first with Master H. Plée and then with Master Murakami. He continued his studies with Aikido (in the school of Master Noro and then Aikijundo with Pierre Lapébie), and followed the first teaching of Tai Chi Chuan in Europe with Abbot Li Huang Hua. He then discovered Master Huang Sheng-Shyan's teaching through Patrick Kelly.

At the same time, he started discovering Chang Buddhism (Zen) through a Vietnamese monk (Thich Tuê Thang). This allowed him to understand the special relationship that links Tai Chi Chuan, a fighting art, Chang (Zen), an art of meditation, and Taoism, an art of living with the Nature, and to define a method to practise Tai Chi Chuan based on the technical teachings of Master Huang Sheng-Shyan and his own personal experience.

Bùi Xuân Quang currently teaches Tai Chi Chuan in Paris and runs two workshops every year in Italy, one in Volterra (Villa Palagione) and one in Parma.

For this workshop Bùi Xuân Quang will be assisted by Tiziana Castelluccio who teaches Tai Chi Chuan in Parma.
