Tai Chi originated as a self-defense martial art in China several centuries ago. Over time, it has involved into a gentle exercise that aims to improve one’s physical and mental health. Physically, Tai Chi requires maintaining good balance, leg strength, and flexibility while performing smooth, continuous, and gentle movements. Mentally, practitioners remain relaxed and focused throughout the practice, which is why Tai Chi is often called “meditation in motion.”

Most Tai Chi movements are gentle and smooth, making them accessible and welcoming to many people. Some are faster moves that younger people may like.

For 23 years and on a daily basis, I have studied and practiced authentic Chen and Yang style Tai Chi from esteemed Chinese grandmasters, such as Chen ZhengLei.

You may sign up to group practices or individual classes. About the classes:

* Authentic: The instructor primarily learned the forms from Master Zhenglei Chen, whose ancestors were instrumental in the development of Tai Chi. It is crucial to learn the authentic forms with precise details to ensure accuracy of movement, to know the purpose of moves (not just waving slowly without reason), to avoid knee injury from improper posture, and to benefit your health.
* More attention from instructor, and make real progress. In a private class, you select a time slot that suits you, receive the instructor’s complete attention, and make steady progress at your own pace. Group classes typically have fewer than five participants, allowing for more personalized attention compared to larger groups.
