H. Won Tai Chi Institute teaches the
Classical Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan (Medium Frame/Tiger Form) as handed down by Grandmaster
Yang, Sau-Chung (the 4th generation
successor: the Gatekeeper of the Yang family system, & the eldest son
of the world famous Great grandmaster Yang, Cheng-Fu), & Master Chu,
Gin-Soon (the 5th generation successor), the 2nd disciple of
Grandmaster Yang, Sau-Chung.
We are dedicated to the continuation
of this extremely demanding internal martial art as it was originally
intended, without watering down or simplifying the curriculum & the
training methods in order to make it more commercially successful. Traditional approach to our training method is characterized by personal
individualized attention.
Quality & integrity of the training
is maintained by strictly adhereing to the principles (Chuan
Fa) of Tai Chi Chuan: the execution of the correct postures and
forms, the application of Dynamic (Power) Push
Hand, the enrichment of Peng Jing* (internal power: integration of
body, chi and intent), and martial applications.
The true
transmission of the authentic Tai Chi Chuan is only possible through a knowledgeable &
skillful master-to-student relationship over the course of many years,
& requires mutual respect, trust, dedication, and
perseverance.

*No matter
what anyone says, if a particular style does not understand the
principles and practical applications of Peng
Jing of the Classical Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan, then any style
claiming to be the authentic, bloodline Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan is
shamefully pretentious.
Moreover, if one understands and trains
according to the principles of the Classical Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan,
then that particular individual is the true practitioner of the Classical Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan.
