Jamal Azhigirei School of Martial Arts
The history of Jamal's school began in 2000, when in the club "Wing Chun" on M. Kamal took his first Tai Chi chuan group. In 2004 his team successfully participated in the European Championship in St.-Petersburg, and since then two more European Championships (France, Paris - 2006; Sweden, Linköping - 2008) and three Russian Championships (Oryol - 2006, 2007 and 2008) his students have won many gold medals. In 2005 I had to leave the club, which has already become a history, there were filmed some scenes of "The Lotus Blow-2,3". I continued my trainings in "Moscow Budokan", later there was a children Wushu group, then there was a hall on the Proletarian square. Then there was a children Wushu group at Proletarskaya st, and in 2006 our group was formed in Open World Wushu Center.

In September 2007 the school obtained its own base: in the village of Zhukovka a new club "School of martial arts Jamal Azhigirei" was opened.

Now the school has classes in 4 directions: Tai chi chuan, Jun chun, children Wushu, yoga. As well as for children and adults: drawing class and modern dance.
