Die Welle

This intensive training session with Gisa combines tai chi with self-defense and enhances body awareness, reaction time, and inner stability. Participants learn to apply key movements from the tai chi form specifically for self-defense—effectively, gently on the body, and independent of muscle strength. The focus is on mindful movement, trust in one’s own strength, and acting with confidence in challenging situations. The course is suitable for beginners as well as participants with prior experience. A group cool-down and personal discussion round out the session.

Gisa Anders has been teaching Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong for over 30 years. She completed her training at the International Tai Chi Chuan Association (ITCCA) under Master K.H. Chu. In addition to running her own school in Bad Nauheim and Bad Salzhausen, she has worked as a lecturer at the University of Frankfurt and in rehabilitation clinics, among other roles. Her teaching is characterized by deep expertise, keen intuition, and the goal of helping people tap into their inner strength—both physically and mentally.
