According to legend, T'ai ChiCh'uan originated over a thousand years ago as a martial art by aTaoist priest. Its basic principle as a form of self defense is thatstrength is not as important as the proper application of force.

For hundreds of years, T'ai Chi Ch'uanwas an elite form of self defense and meditation, taught only withinthe Chen family. T'ai Chi Ch'uan became available to more students whenYang Cheng Fu began teaching his family form. The Tung Family has continuedthis tradition for over three generations and it is from their lineage that ourT'ai Chi form orignates. Today, T'ai Chi Ch'uan is practiced daily by personsof all ages and backgrounds throughout the world.
