About Seattle School of Chen Style Taijiquan
"With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things." William Wordsworth
Seattle Chen Taiji is the first and only Taiji school exclusively dedicated to teaching Chen family style Taiji in the Northwest. We are members of the Chen Xiaowang World Taiji Association.
Mission
It is my mission to bring to the Pacific Northwest Chen family style Taijiquan, recognized as the source of modern day internal martial arts, as taught by Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang.
Objective
My objective is that students experience a traditional and multi-layered approach incorporating martial, energetic and structural components. The teaching method is specifically designed for accessibility to all experience levels.
Practitioners experience noticeable health benefits including enhanced balance, greater fluidity of movement, and increased physical strength. The calm meditative quality of both class time and home practice, enhances mental clarity and supports emotional stability. This traditional system can lead the dedicated practitioner to a place of personal empowerment.
