Paris Lainas works as a teacher for Taijiquan in Chen style and teaches mainly in the Shu Jian Association (founded by him and colleagues in 2004) and as well as a personal trainer.
On his way to refine his skills, he won several national and international Taijiquan championships. In 2008, he was awarded the title of Chen Taijiquan Master by the Sports Department of Zhejiang Province (PR China), Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang (19th Gen.), Master Chen Shi Hong and the Austrian Wushu Association.
From 2010 to 2012, he trained in China with Master Chen Bing (20th Gen.) to further develop his understanding and skills.
In 2019, Grandmaster Chen Shi Hong conferred the succession on him, making him the 21st generation of the Chen family.
In 2023, he was also accepted as a personal disciple of Master Chen Bing and has officially represented his lineage ever since.
Paris seeks to analyse Taijiquan in all its facets, the contemplative, philosophical and meditative aspect, the body mechanics through its inner work and its function as a martial art for self-defence.
His aim is to develop a training method that enables better understanding and a more efficient learning process right from the start.
