TAI CHI INFORMATION

As history reveals it was developed by Chang San Fen who combined martial art technique with internal power development to create an extremely potent martial art.

The Yang style was founded by Yang Lu Chan, and successive generations of the Yang family, most notably Yang Chen Fu in the 1920s was responsible for modifying the old Yang form because he noted the health benefits that could be gained by its practice, so he removed the explosive strikes and flying kicks to make it more accessible to the Chinese population, and so it became the most widely practised style of Tai Chi today.
