Historia

Tai chi (taijiquan) comes from Chen Village in Henan province, where tradition credits Chen Wangting with creating it in the 17th century. In the 19th century Yang Luchan learned it there and taught it in Beijing, where it became famous.

Five main family styles grew from it: Chen, Yang, Wu (Hao), Wu and Sun. In 1956 a short 24-movement form was created in Beijing so millions could learn it, and in 2020 UNESCO listed taijiquan as intangible cultural heritage.
