Tui Shou

Tui Shou is a gentle form of martial art

It is a practiced in pairs and is based on using each other's strength and movements.

It is practised using circular movements and balance.

It is actually, putting non-violent communication to use in order to improve psychomotor skills, flexibility, inner tranquillity, concentration and vitality. Tui Shou is a fun way of relating to and opening up to others through self awareness, which, for us, made it an obvious choice for our programme.


"Tui Shou, like Aikido, is an insight into non-violent bodily practices which can help  in everyday life. It obviously belongs in the Ostalas programme its novelty, relevance and originality making it a totally new experience" Frédéric
