Teachers: Claudio Corbelli

Claudio Corbelli

I started studying Yang Style tai chi in 2001 and I have been practising Dong Style since 2002. Before becoming a committed student of Master Alex Dong, I also studied with his father, Grand Master Dong Zen Chen, and with other senior teachers of the Dong and Tung Families. In the past I got introduced to Chen Style tai chi. I am interested in other oriental philosophies and meditation. I am now very happy to be one of the Tung Ying Jie Taiji Legacy teachers and I regularly visit Master Alex Dong in order to improve my tai chi. I usually participate to training camps and workshops in Europe and North America.

I am aware that I have now embarked in a lifelong tai chi journey, and I am very excited about it. In a world of fast information, Internet and quick fixes, I particularly treasure the old teaching process, the oral tradition, the relationship master and disciple. Feeling the presence of all the previous masters in Master Alex's teachings is enlightening. Seeing Master Alex putting the teaching into practice is a memorable experience. The time spent into learning a true art, the solo practise and the commonality of intent with my fellow tai chi companions are now irreplaceable parts of my life.
