An Invitation to Take A FREE Class and Some Insights
If You Find You Are Interested in T'ai Chi Ch'uan, Then Take A FREE Class
I could talk to you about T'ai Chi Ch'uan until the "cows come home," as was once said. However, the best way to find out if Tai Chi Chuan is for you is to take a FREE class. No pressure sales, no obligations, just an introduction to T'ai chi Ch'uan with answers to every question you can ask. Additionally, you have the opportunity to engage with other students and ask them questions as well.
Medical Benefits of T’ai Chi Ch’uan
Respected U.S. Medical & Health Organizations Supporting T’ai Chi
Here are eight prominent institutions that either directly endorse T’ai Chi or reference it in their research, clinical trials, or recommendations:
#OrganizationSupport Description1.National Institutes of Health (NIH)Funds T’ai Chi research for arthritis, Parkinson’s, and fall prevention.2.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Recommends T’ai Chi for fall prevention in older adults.3.American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)Lists T’ai Chi as a functional fitness modality.4.American Geriatrics Society (AGS)Advocates its use in fall-reduction and frailty treatment in elders.5.U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)Includes T’ai Chi in the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.6.Harvard Medical School / Harvard Health PublishingPublishes frequent studies and articles like “T’ai Chi: Moving Meditation”.7.Arthritis FoundationRecommends T’ai Chi as a joint-safe exercise method.8.Mayo ClinicFeatures T’ai Chi in its integrative health programs for stress relief and mobility.
The Science Within the Art
T’ai Chi Ch’uan is not merely a martial art, nor solely a moving meditation—it is the living embodiment of human biomechanics refined to its highest purpose.
It is the observable perfection of what the ancients sensed but could not name—the spiraling fascia, the rooted structure, the floating head suspended by biotensegrity. These masters moved in ways that seemed magical because they trained not just the body, but also the body’s relationship to gravity, force, and internal pressure.
I teach T’ai Chi as the epitome of scientific movement—softened to feel, slowed to observe, precise to test. What the masters once knew intuitively, we now verify with physics, anatomy, and somatic intelligence. This does not diminish the art—it honors it.
We are not modernizing Tai Chi—we are finally seeing it.
The Mystery Behind The Mystery
“I teach T’ai Chi as the science that proves the ancient wisdom. What the masters felt, we can now measure. What they transmitted by feel, we now refine through biomechanics. I am not a modernizer—I am a revealer of what has always been true.”
— Professor Kenneth R. Haslam
