Sattva Mushti Taijiquan emerged organically from years of dedicated practice, evolving into a codified process that bridges martial artistry with deep personal exploration. This journey is the result of Kaustav Guha’s relentless commitment to studying Yang Taijiquan under the lineage of the late Yang Cheng Fu and his disciple, the late Fu Zhongwen. Since 2007, Kaustav has expanded his understanding through extensive practice, training with instructors and fellow practitioners from diverse styles across the globe.

Sattva Mushti Taijiquan is not a mere style, but a refined process shaped by empirical observations. While Tai Chi is often dubbed “moving meditation,” it is, in essence, a profound martial art. Its practice demands precision; a millimeter’s mistake can result in a miss by a mile. At its core, Tai Chi addresses vital elements such as timing, relaxation, posture, martial logic, and the psychological mindset required to master these technical aspects—principles that have withstood the test of time but are often overshadowed by the noise of modernity. Unfortunately, misinformed marketing by some martial artists has distorted the true nature of Tai Chi.

Sattva Mushti Taijiquan is Kaustav’s response to this—an effort to bring the focus back to the practice itself. It is a method to be observed, understood, and tailored to one’s unique needs, fostering tangible health benefits while deepening one’s appreciation for the remarkable design of the human body.

Kaustav Guha is an alumnus of IIT Madras and works professionally as a software engineer specializing in Semiconductor Design and Automation. He represents the Yong Nian Yang Style Taijiquan, in India (https://yongniantaichiusa.com/instructors/). Kaustav specializes in empty-hand forms, weapon forms (including sword, saber, stick, and spear), fast Fa Jin forms, and two-person push hands sparring.
