Over

You can book a free trial training here on our website and get to know our studio. Up to two trial trainings are free, then you can get a picture of whether our courses are something for you. And take the opportunity to ask us any questions you have.

Pa-Kua is an ancient Chinese system with eight disciplines (e.g. Martial arts, acrobatics, tai chi), which harmonises body and mind. Unlike many martial arts, we have no competition or tough contact - instead, the focus is on personal growth, respect and overcoming one's own limits in a supportive atmosphere.
 

All our courses are suitable for beginners. We always help students with less knowledge and always work within their own limits. It's important that everyone feels comfortable in our courses.

The way we train doesn't involve hard contact or sparring with other people. We use a punching bag or pads to practice hitting something, rather than punching your peers.

Families receive a 10% discount. For example, if two siblings attend training, we offer a 10% discount on the total monthly fee.

Pa Kua is not a franchise. We are part of the Pa Kua International League, a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading Pa Kua knowledge. Each instructor receives free permission to use all logos and teaching methods, and can teach one class per week or open their own studio without paying any fees.

Children can train in our martial arts classes starting at age 5 or 6. For archery or sword training, the best age is 10.

There are many regular classes every week and you are sure to find different times that work with your schedule.

Yes, you can make up any missed lessons by attending one of our weekly classes. This can be during the same week or in subsequent weeks. It's important to us that you attend and don't miss a class, so we want to give you this flexibility.

We are not financial advisors and therefore cannot accept liability. If you are an adult and continue to practice with us, you will become an instructor. This is part of every student's normal path, even if you never teach. Therefore, our courses are like vocational training, because after you become an instructor, you can earn additional income by teaching.

No, you can start by wearing comfortable workout clothes. After a few weeks or months, we recommend purchasing a proper uniform, as you'll feel more comfortable in the right clothes.

In our studios, we have all the equipment you need to practice. If you'd like, you can also purchase your own equipment; we can help you with that and give you good recommendations on what and where to buy it.

We don't hold competitions because we believe that the only challenge for each student should be to do better than the day before, not better than someone else.

The contract doesn't have an end date, but you can cancel at any time. If you cancel within the first month, everything will be canceled, and you won't have to pay anything. After the first month, there's a three-month cooling-off period. For example, if you cancel in mid-February, you'll still have to pay for March, April, and May. But of course, you can continue to attend training during this time.

The monthly fees start at about €50–80 per course (depending on discipline and frequency), with discounts for families (10%) or additional bookings. There are no hidden costs - the first month is on trial, and equipment is provided in the studio. More detailed prices can be found on our registration page or by e-mail request.

There are no formal exams or belts, as the focus is on inner progress ("better than yesterday"). Instead, we celebrate successes in the group, and committed students can become instructors – like our coaches Detlef Laabs-Wrieden or Christopher Adamkiewicz, who have risen through passion and continuous learning.

In Bremen/Stuhr we offer courses in martial arts, acrobatics, archery, sword fighting, tai chi, rhythm training, pa-kua chi (energy work) and Chinese yoga (sintony). They are suitable for beginners and advanced, from children from 5 years to seniors - choose according to your interest: e.g. Acrobatics for fun and agility or Tai Chi for relaxation.

Weekly courses are continuously building up and promoting community (e.g. 60 minutes per week). Individual lessons are flexible for personal topics such as self-Defence, while workshops (e.g. For companies or weekend retreats) are thematically focussed and combine fun with learning - ideal for beginners or groups.

Absolutely! Many students train in 2–3 disciplines in parallel to have a round training – e.g. B. Martial Arts for Strength and Tai Chi for Balance. Talk to our trainers (such as Master Rodolfo Oliva or Master Patricia Veigel-Runte) who will create an individual plan, without overloading.

Pa-Kua not only improves fitness, flexibility and self-Defence, but also reduces stress, strengthens self-confidence and promotes inner peace through elements such as meditation and breathing. Many participants report better sleep, more energy and a more positive attitude to challenges in professional or private life.

Yes, all courses are customised to your limits. Whether back pain, obesity or anxiety - our trainers advise you personally and offer modified exercises. We recommend consulting a doctor in advance and integrating gentle disciplines such as Tai Chi or Pa-Kua Chi for getting started.

The League is a non-profit organisation since 1976 that distributes Pa-Kua worldwide (e.g. In Argentina, Brazil and Germany). As a member, you have access to annual European meetings, retreats and a global network – for inspiration, exchange and deeper knowledge, without franchise fees.

Currently, we are focussing on face-to-face training for direct exchange and safety. In the future, we are planning hybrid options - contact us for the latest information.
