Our volunteer, registered charitable organization offers instruction in Taoist Tai Chi internal arts and methods, which include taijiquan (Tai Chi) and other related internal arts. Taoist Tai Chi internal arts and methods are specifically aimed at cultivating health and vitality and were developed by Master Moy Lin-shin, a Taoist monk. Master Moy synthesised the wisdom he learned during more than 50 years of training in meditation, qigong, Tai Chi and other arts into the practices taught by the Society and its sister organisations. The Taoist Tai Chi Chi Society of Canada is a member of the International Taoist Tai Chi Society which is the largest non-profit Tai Chi organization in the world. The Society was founded in Toronto in 1970, with the first classes in British Columbia taking place in 1976. In the Pacific Region, we have now grown to include communities across the province, including the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and many parts of the interior. To find more details of the locations of classes for all ages offered in B.C. visit our Classes or our Contact Us pages. More background about Master Moy, Taoist Tai Chi internal arts and methods, their the health benefits, and our worldwide activities can be found at the international web site of the International Taoist Tai Chi Society. more...
