Schedule of Classes

At T'ai Chi Ch'uan Atlanta, the discipline and the art are studied comprehensively. In addition to learning the Form, students practice fundamental T'ai Chi Ch'uan exercises, various "chi-kung" exercises, stretches and different types of meditation. As the Form is learned, the student may also study "Push Hands" (the various T'ai Chi Ch'uan two-person exercises), martial applications, staff and sword.

The Yang Long Form can be learned in as little as six months, but usually takes more than a year, depending on the student's ability, class attendance, practice and background. The most successful students practice devotedly.

T'ai Chi Ch'uan Atlanta was founded in 1985.
