Centrum Sztuk Taoistycznych Złoty Kopiec

Ogólne informacje

We help you to discover the power of internal balance.

“When you understand a technique, you know a technique. When you understand a concept, you know a thousand of techniques.”

I can say, understanding a concept is the core of my Shapes of Balance teaching system.

“A good teacher explains,

a very good shows,

the best inspires.”

I’m trying through over 40 years teaching work process to be all of them.
I share with the students experiences from this process.
