ABOUT
Founded by Jim Liang in 1991, his school has focused on health-related martial arts; teaching Tai Chi forms and Push Hands. Since then, Jim has been expanding and adding to his school to transform it into a club style Tai Chi school with a variety of programs and has recently renamed to Vitality Tai Chi.
​
In this club style Tai Chi school, you will learn many different Tai Chi forms, such as:
Hand forms: Chen style, Yang style, Wu style, Wu Hao style
Weapons forms: Sword form, Broadsword form, Short and Long staff forms
Partner Exercise: Push Hand
​
Additionally, we will be offering classes for Qi Gong, Meditation, Yoga, Internal Cultivation and offering seminars, workshops and private lessons.
The club will be open 6 times/week, and one of our four instructors will be present for teaching and leading practice.
You can choose any Tai Chi style to learn and practice, led by an instructor or use the facility to practice by yourself.
