CK Chu Tai-Chi Chuan

I have been a student at the school for over twenty years, taking virtually every course of instruction offered, and have had immeasurable benefit from all of it. Studying with Master Chu was a life-changing experience. The photos show a Traditional Chinese Double-Edge Sword form instruction class with Master Chu in front (I'm in the silver shorts) and a student performance of the T'ai Chi Short Form at our 40th Anniversary Gala (I'm on the right).

I studied at Chu Tai Chi for several years and was a witness to the physical transformation of students (including myself) who studied nei kung and Tai Chi. There were people who walked in the door literally unable to touch there tows, but after some time of regular practice became physically fit and limber. Unlike a lot of other Tai Chi schools Chu Tai Chi teaches a complete curriculum which includes meditation, nei kung (a set of intense yoga like exercises), chi kung, weapons forms, and self defense. As far as I know this is one of the last places in the States that teaches real Tai Chi.
