Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese exercise for health. Originated
in the 11th century by Chang San-feng, a Taoist sage, the
exercise consists of graceful and slow movements that relax
and strengthen both body and mind.
Taoist Tai Chi was introduced to North America by Mr. Moy
Lin-shin, a Taoist master who studied the Taoist arts of health
and longevity. By combining the theory and practice of the
Taoist internal arts of health, Taoist meditation, and traditional
Chinese medicine, Master Moy has developed a form of Tai Chi
that gives special emphasis to restoring and maintaining a
state of natural health and well-being. Tai Chi can assist
in integrating the mind and body, leading toward harmony between
ourselves and the universe.
The Michigan Tai Chi Association is a non-profit charitable
organization. Neither the Directors, Officers, nor the Instructors
are paid for their services. All suggested donations, fees
