and its partner associations, were founded in 1975 under the inspiration

Since the TOUM association began, Anya
Méot has continued to study faithfully with Master Tung
around the world particularly in Scandinavia and California. Her Tai Chi
teaching career began in 1979. She receives numerous invitations to demonstrate
the sport and to hold Tai Chi workshops during major European public meetings
in countries such as the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Scotland, Hungary,
the Czech Republic, Germany, Greece and also in China and Russia.
Assisted
by the more advanced members of TOUM, she has trained
hundreds of Tai Chi teachers, many holding previous credentials. Her students
and teachers are spread through France and around the world.

We
seek to transmit a genuine and authentic art by allowing students to discover
the myriad of possibilities Tai Chi contains: rhythms, patience…
Each student learns according to his needs and at his own pace.
We emphasize
the importance of the internal martial arts aspects of adaptable, traditional
Tai Chi as well as complimentary teaching approaches as demonstrated by
a woman (Anya Méot) and completed by study with the Master. There
are no shortcuts, only a prolonged search to incrementally attain the
subtlety and elasticity that characterize the art and spirit of Tai Chi.
