Maarten Vercruysse Tai Chi Master Teacher Basel

Hi, I’m Maarten.

From a pain-ridden PhD student to a thriving corporate professional, my journey highlights the transformative power of Tai Chi Chuan. Under the guidance of world-renowned masters, I learned this art, which has not only enriched my life but also empowered me to help others enhance their health. Through my Tai Chi Chuan school, I’m dedicated to sharing this knowledge and building a community centered on holistic health and vitality.

My Approach

Discover a unique path to harmonizing your energy, mind, and body with our Tai Chi classes. Drawing from the wisdom of three renowned Tai Chi Chuan Masters and backed by my 18 years of personal practice, I teach the core principles and fundamentals of Tai Chi in a way that's accessible and transformative. Whether you're new to Tai Chi or deepening your practice, you'll easily integrate these lessons into daily life to boost your vitality and well-being.

Ready to begin your journey? Contact me to join a welcoming group class or schedule a private session tailored just for you.

 

In-person group and private classes

The studio is conveniently located near the Schützenmattstrasse bus & tram stop and Schützenmattpark.

Training Components

  • Meditation

  • Qi Gong

  • Chen- and Yang-style Forms

  • Pushing hands and martial applications

There are many tai chi classes where you can go to learn a form. There are far fewer teachers who really know the art from the inside out. Maarten teaches not just the movements of tai chi, but the internal subtleties that turn the practice into something real, powerful, and transformative.”
