Trademarked Programs

[A Purpose Born from Experience]

Over two decades, Master Bosco Baek has worked closely with individuals suffering from cancer, spinal disorders, insomnia, and balance-related conditions—many of whom lacked the physical capacity, supportive environment, or time to pursue traditional long-term training in Chen Family Taijiquan, especially in its birthplace, Chenjiagou.

Among them was a student who had just begun Tai Chi when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Tragically, he passed away before receiving the full therapeutic benefits the practice could offer. This loss was both heartbreaking and transformative. It became the strongest personal motivation behind the creation of Tai Chi for Cancer.

This ongoing observation gave rise to a critical and urgent question:

How can we preserve and deliver the full internal and therapeutic power of Chen Family Tai Chi—without requiring years of training?

Through more than 26 years of Tai Chi teaching—including over two decades of private instruction and small-group training (1 to 5 students)—Master Baek developed a library of methods that consistently produced the greatest healing impact, tailored to different conditions, body types, and energetic patterns.

In 2020, drawing from this accumulated wisdom and sparked by powerful real-life cases, he officially launched the Trademarked Tai Chi Program Series—a set of professional healing curricula designed for modern individuals facing urgent health needs.

[Why Trademarked Tai Chi Programs?]

The Trademarked Tai Chi Programs represent a modern adaptation of Chen Family Taijiquan, the mother form of Tai Chi, meticulously crafted to address specific health concerns in today’s world. These programs integrate the time-honored principles of Chen Taijiquan with contemporary therapeutic practices, offering a comprehensive approach to physical and mental well-being.

Chen Family Taijiquan, developed over 400 years ago, serves as the foundation for these programs. Its unique combination of Yin-Yang theory, Qi-guiding techniques, meridian systems and martial principles makes it highly adaptable for addressing a wide range of modern health issues. By merging this profound legacy with input from medical professionals, the Trademarked Tai Chi Programs are optimized for specific needs, ensuring both effectiveness and safety.

These programs are designed for individuals seeking targeted benefits—from improving balance and spinal health to enhancing sleep quality and supporting cancer recovery. Each program offers a specialized pathway to better health while preserving the authenticity and essence of Chen Family Taijiquan.

[Programs with a Purpose]

Each program is not theoretical but clinically inspired—built from real human stories:

• A cancer patient needing deep internal support to lessen side effects of cancer treatment, improve energy levels, or to prevent cancer as preventative purposes
• A spinal-related patient too weak for long-form training, such as those with herniated discs, scoliosis, or Multiple Sclerosis(MS)
• An insomniac whose nervous system needed energetic rewiring and better sleep quality
• An individual struggling with fear of falling and balance loss

These cases became the foundation for four targeted programs:

• TM 201: Tai Chi for Cancer
• TM 202: Tai Chi for Spinal Ailments
• TM 203: Tai Chi for Falls Prevention
• TM 204: Tai Chi for Insomnia

Each program encapsulates Master Baek’s teaching secrets, structural correction techniques, breath mechanics, and energy flow strategies—delivered in a compressed yet lineage-authentic format for those who can’t afford to wait.

[Program Highlights]

• Expert Design: Developed through extensive research and collaboration with Chen Family bloodline heirs and licensed TCM practitioners
• Practical Focus: Each program targets a specific health challenge, ensuring measurable outcomes for participants
• Authentic Roots: Draws from Chen Village’s traditional Taijiquan, maintaining the integrity of the art while adapting it for modern needs
• Comprehensive Curriculum: Combines physical movements with mental focus and controlled breathing for holistic well-being
• Prerequisite: Highly recommended to have experience with Tai Chi 103: Tai Chi for Longevity from the Public Program, or prior exposure to other Tai Chi routines to build foundational skills.

[Program Format & Commitment]

These are not recreational classes, but therapeutic intensives taught only by:

• Master Chen Bing & Master Bosco Baek
• Long-time disciples who are successors of the Chen Family
• Certified teachers trained under Chen Bing Taiji Academy USA

Participation requires a clear time commitment:

• 10-week course: 2 hours/week (minimum 20 hours)
• Intensive track: 20+ hours condensed over a shorter period

These programs are for those who are ready to commit—to healing and transformation.

[Bridging Tradition and Modernity]

While modern Tai Chi often offers surface-level flow and generalized movement, it frequently omits the deep relaxation, internal structure, body logic, and classical lineage originating from the creator of Tai Chi, whose legacy defines Chen Family Taijiquan.

In contrast, CBTA’s Trademarked Programs maintain:

• Structural alignment and joint activation
• Nervous system and fascia stimulation
• Energetic flow guided by breath and body intelligence
• Internal power transmission (Fajin), even in therapeutic form

These routines may be shorter in length—but they are never diluted. They are refined for those who need them the most.

This is not Tai Chi for the masses.
This is Tai Chi for those facing real challenges—those seeking true balance and renewal of body and mind.
This is Tai Chi for life from its birthplace.
