If you're anywhere in the greater Philadelphia area looking for a taichi teacher, Ryan should be your first choice! Not only does he come with the highest credentials, Ryan is a highly skilled practitioner and generous instructor with a great sense of humor.
This is an excellent place to train. Ryan is a skilled and super knowledgeable teacher who dedicated to both the art and his students. There is a huge focus alignment and technique and internal mechanics which makes classes really well suited to both those new to martial arts and those who train in another art but are…

Been training with Ryan for 9 years. He's as dedicated to the internal martial arts as he is knowledgeable and skillful. Certainly authentic, not watered down stuff he teaches that will stick for a lifetime. If you need Tai chi in your life look no further. He is patient, talented, and quite athletic.
Your first tai chi class at Philly Chen Taiji
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
