I was first introduced to Tai Chi Chuan while training in full contact kickboxing. Part of our warm ups were “winding thread exercises” (silk reeling). I liked the energy and feel of these exercises. Years later, after numerous injuries, these same exercises help me recover and become healthy again.

After researching online I found Louisville Tai Chi Center and was introduced to Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan and the International Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan Association and I have never looked back.

In addition to teaching classes in Yang family Tai Chi Chuan, I started a Facebook page called Tai Chi Fit (www.facebook.com/Heartlandtaichifit). Currently there are 11,000 + followers globally. I started this page to promote Traditional Tai Chi Chuan to people interested in tai chi chuan and other soft arts and other forms of martial arts.

I share Grand Master Yang Jun’s seminars announcement and videos, etc. and announcements from the various Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan Association teachers and schools as I am made aware of them. All advertisements from this page is paid from my own pocket and I am the sole owner/manager of this page.

My goal is to practice, train, study and teach Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan as Grand Master Yang Jun, Great Grand Master Yang Zhen duo and the ancestors have worked so hard for it to be shared.

Mondays and Wednesdays 5PM to 6PM, KORT Physical Therapy Associates, Elizabethtown, KY
