Taiji Practice
A mindful art cultivating balance, focus, and structural strength.
Taiji & Kung Fu Classes
I trained for over twelve years under Master Lao Vongvilay and graduated from the Crouching Tiger system. Following my graduation, I co-founded a martial arts school in Munich, Germany, where I taught for six years.
Examples of movements from this practice can be seen on my YouTube channel.

Kung Fu Classes
My Kung Fu classes are rooted in traditional martial arts training and have been further refined through my background as a physiotherapist. Classical techniques are combined with modern bodyweight training and an understanding of posture, movement mechanics, and injury prevention.
Training develops coordination, balance, strength, and mental focus while respecting the natural function of the body. Through structured practice and mindful movement, students gradually improve physical ability, body awareness, and discipline.
The goal is not only martial skill, but also the development of a strong, resilient, and well-coordinated body.
Taiji Classes
Taiji, also known as Tai Chi, is a traditional Chinese internal martial art practiced through slow, continuous movement sequences.
Regular practice improves balance, coordination, joint mobility, and muscular control. Research has also shown positive effects on posture, fall prevention, and overall physical resilience.
Through controlled breathing and focused attention, Taiji training can additionally help reduce stress and support mental clarity.
The practice offers a sustainable way to develop strength, stability, and body awareness throughout all stages of life.

The following videos show demonstrations from the period 2010–2016, when Didier co-founded and taught at a martial arts school in Munich together with Goran Pujic.
About the Crouching Tiger Style
The Crouching Tiger (Süa Lag Hang) system was brought to Germany by Master Lao Vongvilay, a former Theravada Buddhist monk who trained in Thailand. The system combines elements of traditional Kung Fu and internal martial arts such as Taiji.
Training emphasizes coordinated movement, balance, strength, and mental focus. Many exercises are inspired by the qualities observed in animals such as the tiger, reflecting classical martial arts traditions.
In addition to physical training, students develop discipline, awareness, and resilience. Regular practice improves coordination, posture, and overall physical fitness while cultivating calm concentration and self-control.
