About Kun
My name is Xu Kun (徐坤). I am Chinese, originally from Shanghai.
I speak Mandarin, Nanchangese, and Shanghainese, as well as English, French, and some Italian. I studied Qigong at Wudang Mountain with Master Yuan Shimao. I hold an MFA in Actor Training & Coaching from the University of London (UK) and an MBA from IAE Poitiers (France).
With over 20 years of experience as a trainer and coach, I have long been inspired by Chinese philosophy, though I was not initially drawn to Qigong or Taichi, which felt too abstract and mythical to me.
That changed fifteen years ago, when a severe lower-back injury caused by gym training left me in chronic pain. A Chinese Medicine doctor recommended Qigong as part of my recovery. I was surprised by how quickly it helped restore my mobility, and the experience transformed my understanding of the body, movement, and life itself.

Taichi is not suitable for everyone without proper preparation.
Although it appears slow and gentle, Taichi is a high-level martial art that places complex demands on the body, mind, energy, and awareness. When practised without sufficient foundation, it can be challenging—particularly for people with no martial arts background or those who spend long hours sitting at a desk, especially individuals experiencing ongoing tension in the knees or lower back.
Traditionally in China, especially at Wudang Mountain, students were required to complete two to three years of Qigong foundation training before learning Taichi. This preparatory work was essential for building structural alignment, internal awareness, and energetic stability.
In my teaching, I do not focus on classical Taichi forms. Instead, I teach the foundational practices.
This approach supports balance and vitality, encourages healthier body alignment, eases long-term discomfort, and cultivates a clearer sense of self—while helping participants relax from habitual social pressure.
These sessions are designed specifically for beginners with limited mobility. The practice integrates gentle strength, stillness, flexibility, and simple philosophical reflection, and is supported by mindful lifestyle choices. Through practice, participants are invited to step away from daily strain and reconnect with a calmer, more grounded way of living.

Kun very kindly spent a couple of hours of his time recently giving me an enlightening and enjoyable introduction to the basics of Qigong, both the exercises and the philosophy behind them. He is a very patient, knowledgeable and wise teacher!
Kun XU is very friendly and playful in his approach - starting the first lesson showing us how to paint Chinese characters with a brush! He has a deep knowledge of Chinese culture especially Taoism having spent time in a monastery devoted to Taoism and QiGong. At the same time he emphasises the way QiGong developed through practical experimentation & encourages his pupils to mold the exercise to their own body, not to change their body to fit the exercise. This is reinforced by his constant encouragement to listen to your body as you practice . All this is all done with a great attention to detail and in a spirit of fun and experiment. He is generous with his time and addresses individual health issues students have. I heartily recommend Kun XU as a teacher of QiGong for both individuals and groups.
Quel plaisir de suivre les cours de Qi Gong de Kun.
Kun décortique chaque mouvement, explique l'intérêt et les conséquence pour le corps de chaque exercice. Il est attentif à la bonne posture de ses élèves, il pousse, en toute bienveillance, à s'améliorer.
Les bénéfices de ses cours se font rapidement ressentir !
Merci !
I’ve known Kun for nearly 30 years, and one thing that has never changed is his youthful spirit and genuine kindness. He has always approached life with patience, curiosity, and a positive attitude, which naturally carries over into the way he teaches Tai Chi.
Over the years, I’ve seen how dedicated he is to sharing his knowledge and helping others grow at their own pace. Beyond being an excellent Tai Chi instructor, he is also a loyal, thoughtful, and supportive friend. I feel fortunate to have known him for so long, and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone interested in learning Tai Chi.I really enjoyed my Qigong class . From the very beginning, I felt comfortable and able to slow down, relax and focus on myself.
The exercises helped me feel more centred and more aware of my body. I also noticed a real improvement in my posture, and my back felt so much better after the class.
Kin creates a calm and positive atmosphere, and explains everything in a very clear and natural way. It was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend his classes.I really enjoy Eric's teaching style because he encourages me to explore and discover my own way of practising, rather than simply asking me to imitate him.
His understanding of Qigong is logical, practical, and easy to apply, which is quite different from that of many other Qigong teachers I have learned from.
