Welcome to Wu's Tai Chi Chuan Academy, Archway,

About Tai Chi Chuan

Tai Chi Chuan is both an exercise system and a martial art that promotes relaxation, improved balance and good posture along with physical fitness and mental well being through the practice of slow, continuous, circular movements, mindfulness and controlled breathing.

Wu's style Tai Chi Chuan is one of the five main Tai Chi styles or schools originating from the Chinese Imperial court of the 1850's and has a tradition spanning 5 generations.

At the Archway Academy we teach the full syllabus of Wu's style Tai Chi Chuan in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. We are one of the many Wu style Academies and training centres around the world in which Wu's style Tai Chi Chuan is practiced and taught, we are also one of the Instructor training and certification centres accredited by the International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan Federation.

Below is a video demonstration of a short form of Wu's style Tai Chi Chuan demonstrated by Grandmaster Wu Kwong Yu, gatekeeper of Wu's style Tai Chi Chuan.
