Located in Paris, the main Toum association gave birth to other Toum associations and Toum affiliated groups (Paris and suburbs, throughout France and in several other countries).

As friends and affiliated groups, we get together. One can study the basics with these teachers, and join the main group for seminars or for more advanced courses.

Time permitting we take part in federation sponsored events: The Federation Tai Chi festival, regional festivals, Spring University, China Year, the TCFE European forums, etc ... and those of us that are interested also take part in French and European championships, as Europa taichi 2006 & 2009. Next Europa Taichi championship will be in Paris in 2012

We consider the competitions, in traditionnal styles, mostly as meetings between traditional internal arts players. Since 1993 Toum as a group, has regularly won medals in open hand and weapon forms competitions and tuilien competitions bare-hand or with weapons. The Toum team with Toum practitioners won often gold or silver medals for weapons and for open hand group forms: silver medal for the men and bronze medal for the women.

Individual medals won by each competitor are mentioned on their own page.
