This class is designed for students who are inspired by the dynamic, powerful qualities of Chen‑Style Tai Chi. Many participants have already completed a beginner program or bring prior Tai Chi experience from other settings and are ready to deepen their practice in the next phase of learning.
In this course, we explore both the hand form and the sword form of Chen‑Style Tai Chi. Students are also introduced to the distinctive internal energy that defines this lineage—Silk‑Coiling energy—which cultivates spiraling strength, rooted movement, and integrated body‑mind coordination.
This class is designed for students who wish to pursue a deeper, more comprehensive level of Tai Chi study. Our focus is on exploring each form in detail—its structure, applications, and the refined use of various Tai Chi energies. Partner work, including Push Hands, is an integral part of the training, helping students develop sensitivity, responsiveness, and practical understanding.
In this program, we also study the traditional Yang‑Style Long Form (the 85‑movement routine), allowing students to experience the full breadth and richness of the style. To further support advanced learning, we regularly discuss Tai Chi classics and foundational theories, integrating traditional wisdom with hands‑on practice.
This class is designed for students who appreciate the graceful, elegant, and meditative qualities of Yang‑Style Tai Chi. Many participants have already completed a beginner program or bring prior Tai Chi experience from other settings and are ready to progress into the next stage of their practice.
While the beginner level emphasizes learning the external structure of the movements, the intermediate level begins to explore the internal energy that gives the form its depth and vitality. In this class, we study the Yang‑Style Essential Form as well as the Yang‑Style Sword, helping students develop refined body awareness, fluidity, and energetic understanding.
These classes are designed for students with little or no prior Tai Chi experience. We take a patient, supportive approach, dedicating extra time to developing strength, balance, coordination, and mindfulness. This foundation not only enhances overall well‑being but also prepares you for more advanced Tai Chi training if you choose to continue.
In this program, we focus on the short routines of Yang‑Style Tai Chi. For students who prefer a gentler pace with more repetition and guidance, Level A is the ideal starting point. Level B moves at a slightly quicker pace and may be better suited for those who are ready for a bit more challenge.
