JAN JIRAK graduated from the Academy of Modern Circus in Copenhagen specialized in Hand Balancing & Balance Trapeze. His professional career led him from studies of hand balancing and acrobatics in Denmark, Ukraine, France, Germany from different teachers having different approaches.
Later on he wanted to complete his practical understanding with theoretical knowledge and so he started to study external and internal chinese Qi Gong, Northern Chinese Gong Fu called Tong Bei inspired by the movements of White Gibbon and by now, he studies at Traditional Chinese Medicine Institute in Prague.
