About Us

Aiping Tai Chi Center based in Orange, CT was established in 1996 by Grandmaster Aiping Cheng, one of the world's most renowned Chinese Martial Artists. Our center provides instruction in authentic Tai Chi (Taijiquan) utilizing traditional teaching methods, combined with the training methods from China's elite sports universities and professional martial arts teams. Our mission is to teach people Tai Chi beyond movement choreography, to imbue true understanding of Tai Chi philosophy to better one's physical and mental well being.
