Our history
Many questions are asked about "lineage" to ascertain how and where a teacher learnt their skills. In the view of the UKTQF this should not be seen as an opportunity to mention a master with whom one may have trained for a weekend and gained a certificate but to pay respect to those who helped teach and develop your skills over a sustained period of learning. The teacher training route for each of the disciplines taught by the United Kingdom Taiji Qigong foundation is outlined below.
