Graceful technique that takes patience to master properly empowers enthusiasts

The fluid combination of slow, graceful movements and lightning-quick strikes easily sets taijiquan apart from other martial arts.

The earliest traceable origin is in mid-17th century Henan province, home to its first popularizer, the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) general Chen Wangting.

In modern times, taijiquan has become popular among Chinese of all ages, genders and ethnicities. Its mental and physical health benefits have also garnered enthusiasts across the world.
