Tai Chi Nashville

Learn Tai Chi

We teach Yang style short form of tai chi chuan. The movements are widely acknowledged to help calm emotions, focus the mind, and strengthen the immune system. Practiced at a slow and even speed, tai chi promotes relaxation, straight posture, and balance. Tai chi helps us to stay younger as we grow older, thus making an outstanding contribution to our overall health and well-being.

We offer different courses in the teaching of tai chi. We start by teaching the Yang style short form in a series of three courses called the Beginning form. The first course is B1, the second B2, and the third B3. Other courses include Sensing Hands, Fundamentals, Intermediate, and the Eight Ways of Tai Chi Chuan™.

General Inquiries

Our School

School of Tai Chi Chuan and T’ai Chi Foundation

At the request of Professor Cheng Man-Ch’ing, the School of T’ai Chi Chuan was founded in 1976 by one of his senior students, Patrick Watson.

Cheng Man-Ch’ing

Grand Master Cheng Man-Ch’ing (1901-1975) is known as master of the “Five Excellences”: painting, poetry, calligraphy, medicine and tai chi chuan. In the 1960s, he brought tai chi chuan to the West. The Professor’s form has become the most popular tai chi form in the West.

Patrick Watson

Patrick Watson (1935-1992) began studying with Cheng Man-Ch’ing in 1966. In 1976, Patrick founded The School of Tai Chi Chuan (STCC) specifically to train teachers to teach the Professor’s tai chi chuan form; in 1979 Patrick founded the T’ai Chi Foundation, Inc. which now manages all programs including teaching, training, research and development.

Tai Chi Shoes

Wearing cotton sole shoes for tai chi has an advantage.

Provide a good balance between grip and smoothness on the practice surface.
Provide stability while performing the intricate footwork and weight shifts characteristic of tai chi.
Facilitate the ability to pivot and rotate smoothly, promoting fluidity and ease of movement.
Allows for adequate airflow, preventing excessive sweating and discomfort during practice.
Most importantly, shoes are lightweight and flexible, enabling better sensory perception and a closer connection with the ground.

Size Information:

These shoes are sold in one sizing scale: MENS
If you are a female and want to order, subtract 1.5 to get your men’s size.
For example, Womens size 7.5 is a Mens 6. For a womens 7.5, order a 6 shoe.
Another example, Womens 9 is a Mens 7.5.
