Throughout history mankind has managed to live in conflict with neighboring tribes, civilizations or nations over resources or merely the lust for power. In response Peoples developed means to defend themselves. In China this led to the creation of an empty hand fighting system which came to be called Tai Chi, or Tai Chi Chuan with the oldest form dating back to the 1400's and originating in the Chen village.
Although there are four other main derivative forms, each with a slightly different focus, Chen Style Tai Chi is the original style and the focus of our school.
