Through correct training of individuals and instructors, we promote the highest standards and advance the greatest benefits of tai chi.

The Tai Chi Chuan Center was founded as a not-for-profit organization in 2000 by Master C.K. Chu and his students to help bring the benefits of Tai Chi to a wider audience.

In 2004 we introduced the first free public classes in Bryant Park, working with park staff to roll out an annual celebration of World Tai Chi Day on the last Saturday of every April, and a very popular program of free morning classes from May through September that have reached tens of thousands of people.

Our Bryant Park example has inspired others to offer everything from bocce instruction and yoga to fly-fishing and knitting.

Our non-profit Tai Chi Chuan Center also advances the legacy of Grandmaster C.K. Chu through elder health classes at senior centers around the city.

If you are grateful for all that Tai Chi has done for your life and can support our outreach, please donate whatever you can.
