Tony Maujiram

Tony Maujiram began Chi Gong up in Tibet in 1986 with renowned master Bruce Kumar Francis. He was further enthralled by this noble art in China later that year, and in 1987 started seriously studying Tai Chi. In 1988 he trained five hours a day for three months in the now legendary Heart of Dragon school in Thailand. He was taught by his guru, Jay, an American who then already had 25 years of experience of daily practice, and who himself for many years had been studying under the greatest master of them all, Cheng Man Ching. Tony suffered a terribly bad knee problem and was contemplating surgery after 18 months of failed treatments, when he first experienced the healing power of Tai Chi. When he first met his guru, Tony had no money but was determined to practice Tai Chi because he had been assured that his knee could be cured by this art. Following the principle of ‘exchange of energies’ his guru offered to teach him for free if he agreed to follow the ancient Chinese tradition: practice 2-3 hours daily for 10 years, and then teach for the rest of his life. He agreed – and the knee was ok within 10 days! Tony currently teaches part of the year in Gokarna (South of India) and part of the year around the world. You now have the great opportunity to meet him in Ibiza!
