Membership of the Union is open to anyone interested in Tai Chi Internal Arts whether they are merely curious, attending classes or an experienced practitioner or teacher.
The main Internal Arts are Tai Chi Chuan, Baguazhang, Xingyiquan and Qigong but we also have members interested in other recognised Chinese Internal Arts (*).
