Chen Yingjun Tai Chi Ottawa

Professor Eduardo is a highly skilled Taijiquan teacher, as he received direct teachings from the Chen family, especially Master Yingjun. I trained with Eduardo for three years and witnessed his dedication and irreprehensible moral conduct.

I've trained in various martial arts for over 20 years, almost 10 of those in Taijiquan. I started training with Eduardo during the COVID lockdown - originally only through Zoom, and even remotely, his corrections made my posture and my practice jump to a whole new level I could not have attained before. His in-person classes are meditative and a good internal workout at the same time, the way taijiquan should be. His attention to his students is laser-focused, and his hands-on corrections are frankly surgical.Eduardo has trained under the Chen family - the creators of Taijiquan - and this clearly shows in the calibre of his teaching. He has deep knowledge of Chinese medicine and philosophy, which is not common for taijiquan instructors. His instruction is of the highest calibre to be found in Ottawa, and his fees are incredibly reasonable for the level of his teaching. If you are considering training in Taijiquan in the NCR, you owe it to yourself to check out his school.

Eduardo was the most advanced and most important person in Tai Chi (Chen style) in Brazil until his departure to Canada. He was the only Brazilian teacher that reached level 3 so far (in the WTCA ranking), and he organized most of the seminars of the visiting masters Chen Yingjun, Chen Ziqiang and Jan Silberstorff.I had the fortune to have Tai Chi lessons from Eduardo for five years in Rio de Janeiro. Having had experience with several Tai Chi teachers of different styles, I can say that Eduardo was by far the best and most skillful teacher that I had for Tai Chi lessons on a weekly basis. He has an extraordinary sensitivity for the personal development, and he is very careful and patient to accompany this process with each student (we were training in a group of 10-15 students).Besides his extreme skills as a teacher, I like to stress that Eduardo is a very friendly person who is always open for questions and personal guidance of all kind.In so far: if you want to train Tai Chi, do it with Eduardo!

I have been studying with Eduardo Molon since he opened his Taiji classes in Ottawa last year. I feel extremely fortunate to have met him as he is adding a depth to my practice that I felt was lacking after some years of learning Yang and Chen styles. He is an excellent teacher both in demonstrating (which is more typical of Taiji teachers) and in explaining (very unusual in my experience), making studying with him a well-rounded experience. I would also mention the quality of his attention to his students, each of us with our own challenges; we each receive individual corrections (including physical posture corrections) that help us gradually improve from where we started, given with caring and respectful attention by Eduardo. He brings a close connection to the Chen Xiaowang Taiji lineage that is rare in Canada and unique in Ottawa - it is a privilege to have Eduardo here to bring us this wonderful teaching ! - Nicholas

Eduardo is an outstanding Taijiquan teacher! I trained with him during some years and I can say that Taijiquan completely change my life. I used to be a stressed and anxious guy who frequently didn't know how to keep focus and solve problems in everyday life. I became stronger, healthier and mentally more balanced after start practicing Taijiquan. I strongly recommend Eduardo and I'm very thankful for having had the opportunity of learning Taijiquan Chen Style with him.

Eduardo is an amazing Tai Chi instructor who brings information and experience directly from the masters of the Chen family. His guiding and corrections made me experience new aspects of the inner processes in a playful and inspiring manner. We miss him a lot in Brazil, so please make the most of his stay in Canada!

Eduardo Molon, Brazilian and inheritor of the Chen’s family Taijiquan, is a professional dedicated to the cause of his students. He believes that the training routine brings harmony to the body and much confidence in living. Furthermore, he makes us deeply believe that Taijiquan rebuilds our essential balance; “just relax” he always teaches us to believe in this magical ability of Taijiquan.

Eduardo was a wonderful Tai Chi instructor! I have never done Tai Chi before and it was an easy transition for a beginner like me to follow Eduardo and the class to learn the different moves. I am definitely more aware of my posture in my day-to-day life and the class is a great break from the busy lifestyle! For me, Tai Chi is like a physical meditation for the body and a mental spa for the mind. Will definitely recommend it!

Eduardo Molon is a wonderful Tai Chi teacher. His classes are a wonderful mix of theory and practice. Eduardo's teaching style supports both beginner and advanced students who are interested in the meditative or martial arts aspects of Tai Chi. The three components of each lesson (standing mediation, silk reeling and forms) help students develop an appreciation of the history and practice of Tai Chi in a manner that is accessible for non experts. In particular, I am grateful for Eduardo's gentle hands-on corrections of posture and his patience in meeting the needs of each of his students. Many thanks Eduardo!

I was a student of Eduardo for 3 years and it was one of the best experience with martial arts I've had. His didactic is simple yet deep, and he shows truly understanding of what he teaches.His close relation with the masters Chen Yingjun and Jan Silberstorff also provided us precious insights of their teachings.I'm also an aikido student (1rs Kyo )and his respect and support for my other martial art was always impeccable.I'm sure I'm still going back to his classes in the future.
