Considered for centuries to be the cultural treasure of China, Tai Chi has now become a gift to the entire world.

Tai Chi, known in China as "Taijiquan", is a martial art created more than 450 years ago, combining deep breathing, Wushu movements, and exercises to increase and balance Qi (energy) flow.

Chen style tai chi was created by Chen Wangting, a 17th century royal guard from Chenjiagou village in Wenxian County Henan province. Shrouded in secrecy until the early 20th century, Chen tai chi is now practised widely, not only in China and the far east but throughout the western world.
