I’m Meghdad Abdi, Chinese name 易正 (Yi zhèng), born 1982. I started practicing taijiquan (taiji) in 2008, Yang Family Taijiquan in 2009 and I became a member of the International Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan Association in 2010.  Before learning taiji I had practiced other martial arts for more than ten (10) years. I became so passionate about taiji, Chinese medicine and Chinese traditional culture that in  2016 I moved to China in order to study taiji and Chinese medicine in depth.  I graduated from Shanghai University of Chinese Medicine with distinction as a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor in 2021. I currently teach taiji at Shanghai University, to expats in Shanghai,  on online taijiquan courses, and  international annual taiji seminars and workshops.
