Our Expertise
Tai Chi, as an official sport, is known as Taijiquan. It includes both hand forms (quan) and weapon forms, with the most common weapons being the sword (jian) and the fan (shan). These forms combine fluid movements, inner energy, and martial application. The Tai Chi Club specializes in teaching these standard routines, such as the 24-Movement Taijiquan, 32-Movement Taijijian, 42-Movement Taijiquan, and 42-Movement Taijijian, offering a comprehensive understanding of Tai Chi’s beauty and power.
Taijiquan can be practiced for health, mindfulness, entertainment or competition, with the standardized routines designed for all. While the sequence of movements may differ from traditional forms, the core principles and martial applications remain, allowing practitioners to deepen their connection to the art while enjoying its meditative flow and physical benefits. Practioners can apply Tai Chi power in both the hand and weapon forms, making it a versatile and enjoyable practice.

Tai Chi has become more than a routine—it’s the rhythm of my life. Every move teaches me patience, every stance builds my resilience, and every award reflects the dedication I’ve poured into my passion.
