TRADEMARKED MEMBERSHIP: TARGETED TAI CHI™ PROGRAMS

[The Bridge Between Public Membership and Academy Membership]

Trademarked Membership is the second stage of the CBTA USA Pathway.

Designed as a cohort-based training experience, this membership provides access to a series of specialized Tai Chi™ programs developed by Master Bosco Baek and registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

These programs were created to address specific modern challenges while preserving the internal principles, structural methods, and therapeutic foundations of authentic Chen Family Taijiquan.

Unlike general Tai Chi classes, Trademarked Membership offers a focused and progressive training environment where students work together through a structured curriculum over an extended period of time.

These programs are available exclusively through Chen Bing Taiji Academy USA.

[Why Trademarked Membership Exists]

For over two decades, Master Bosco Baek has worked closely with individuals facing cancer, spinal disorders, insomnia, balance-related conditions, chronic stress, and other significant health challenges.

Throughout this process, one question continually emerged:

How can the internal and therapeutic benefits of Chen Family Tai Chi be delivered to modern individuals who may not have years to dedicate to traditional martial arts training?
 

The answer became the development of the CBTA USA Trademarked Tai Chi™ Program Series.

These programs organize specific Tai Chi methods into focused training systems designed to address particular needs while maintaining the integrity of traditional Chen Family principles.

[USPTO Trademarked Programs]

Current programs include:

Each program addresses a specific health challenge while drawing from the same lineage-based principles found within Chen Family Taijiquan.

[A Cohort-Based Training Model]

Trademarked Membership is not a drop-in program.

Students enter as part of a training cohort and progress together through a structured learning process.

The emphasis is not merely learning movements, but developing sufficient understanding, repetition, and correction to make the training personally meaningful and sustainable.

Because these programs address specific health and wellness objectives, consistent participation is essential.

[Why a One-Year Commitment?]

True change requires time.

In traditional Chen Family training, learning a single form often requires a minimum of approximately 20 hours of guided instruction simply to understand the choreography and basic mechanics.

At a pace of approximately 2 hours per week, students generally require 10 weeks or more just to learn the material itself.

To receive meaningful corrections, develop body awareness, establish proper structure, and gain confidence practicing independently, most students require at least six months of consistent training.

The one-year commitment provides sufficient time for:

• Learning the material correctly 
• Receiving ongoing corrections 
• Developing self-practice habits 
• Experiencing measurable physical and internal changes 
• Integrating Tai Chi into daily life 

This approach allows students to enjoy the powerful therapeutic and restorative benefits of Tai Chi beyond the classroom setting.

[Final Notes]

The Trademarked Membership represents the second stage of the CBTA USA Pathway.

It is where students move beyond simply attending classes and begin integrating Tai Chi into daily life.

It is where practice becomes habit.

It is where habit becomes cultivation.

It is where cultivation becomes transformation.

This is not Tai Chi for the masses.

This is the bridge between Public Membership and Academy Membership.

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, rooted in its birthplace.
