OUR MISSION

Preserving the Classical Teachings of Tai Chi from Its Birthplace

Our mission is to preserve and promote the original Chen Family Taijiquan, the mother form of Tai Chi. Rooted in the classical teachings developed in Chen Village, we strive to:

Educate: Enhance physical and mental well-being through authentic Tai Chi practice.
Preserve: Uphold the original martial arts principles, forms, and techniques passed down through generations.

Under the guidance of Master Chen Bing, a 20th-generation direct descendant of Chen Wangting, and with the stewardship of Master Bosco Baek—recognized as the sole Humanity Intangible Culture Heritage Chen Family Taijiquan Excellent Successor in the Americas, originating from Chenjiagou—we ensure that this profound martial art remains accessible and relevant for future generations.
