Our School
The TCF / STCC is an international school with over 200 teachers in 30 cities in seven countries. We teach the Yang-Style Short Form as developed by Grand Master Cheng Man-Ch'ing and his senior student Patrick Watson, the founder of our School. We offer a comprehensive curriculum of classes for beginning and advanced students. Classes are taught by teams of two or more specially trained instructors. We transmit the form with clarity, precision and respect for tradition, using a method that makes learning both easy and fun. Teaching LocationsThe best way to discover if T'ai Chi is for you is to talk to someone and then try out one of our free introductory sessions. Here are our locations:
Class DescriptionsThe 37-posture Beginning Form is taught in approximately 30-35 one-hour classes, divided into three separate sections: B1, B2 and B3. The moves of the form are thoroughly explained and practiced in classes which normally meet for one hour, once or twice a week. Daily practice is recommended. We also offer a complete curriculum of more advanced classes for continuing study. Each course focuses on a different aspect of the art. Emphasis is on the principles of relaxed movement which are essential to progress. The curricula include advanced form classes, push hands and optional apprenticeships and sword form classes. Classes are taught around the world at times that will fit into your busy schedules. We are unique in offering consistency across all of our teaching locations. Take a class in Baltimore, and then repeat parts of it while vacationing in Holland—you will be amazed by how at-home you feel. Sometimes classes are offered as intensives, often over a weekend or a one week period. Intensives offer a chance to experience T'ai Chi in its depth. And it is possible to travel to take advantage of advanced classes not offered in your area—making it a mini vacation. View our Schedules page for both intensives and ongoing classes. Each summer the School sponsors intensive programs in the United States and Europe. Whether you are an absolute beginner or advanced student, join our international family for learning in a relaxed, beautiful, and natural setting. Summer trainings each year include one in Holland, one in the U.S. normally on the East Coast, and often one in Ireland. Contact Us
