and its partner associations, were founded under the inspiration
of Anya Méot, . She began taichj chuan in 1975, with a background in dance and movement
(classical and contemporary dance, improvisation- martial arts (solaris),
gyration, the Dance of Life…). She remains the technical and pedagogical
director of TOUM.

She began in 1979 teaching taichi chuan. Since the TOUM association began, Anya
Méot has continued to study faithfully with Master Tung
around the world particularly in Scandinavia and California. She receives numerous invitations to demonstrate
the sport and to hold taichi workshops during major European public meetings
in countries such as the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Scotland, Hungary,
the Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Bulgaria, and also in China and Russia.
Assisted
by the more advanced members of TOUM, and the "friend groups" issued from Toum, she has trained
more than 150 taichi 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 taichi 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
taichi 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 taichi.
