Welcome to TCCcommunity.net
Welcome T’ai Chi Chih® Teachers and Students of our T'ai Chi Chih Community ... and welcome all who are interested in our T'ai Chi Chih practice. This website's purpose is to serve as a repository of resources for Accredited T'ai Chi Chih Teachers.
T'ai Chi Chih is a non-martial art form comprised of 19 movements and one pose. Practitioners focus on activating, circulating, developing and balancing their chi - their body's life force. The practice is meditation in motion anchored in mindfulness. In 1974 T'ai Chi Chih was originated in the United States by Justin Stone (1916 – 2012) and is presently spreading around the world. It is taught and practiced in the US, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Belize, France, Italy, Namibia, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, the UK and will be introduced in other countries as global interest continues to grow.
