About Swimming Dragon Tai Chi

Swimming Dragon Tai Chi and Chi Gung is a Daoist martial art and longevity method, led by Hans Menck. The twisting, coiling and spiral movements of the water dragon leave you energised and invigorated for the day — and it's just as good to watch as to join in.

Hans studied with masters of the art in China and is one of South Africa's most widely experienced martial artists, teaching through his CyberDojo Martial Arts Academy.
