“Having previously studied Tai Chi in China, I recognized Master Park’s direct connections to authentic tai chi lineages.”
From the reviews
Having previously studied Tai Chi in China, I recognized Master Park’s direct connections to authentic tai chi lineages. At the same time, using his physicist background, Master Park adds scientific methods in teaching movements and martial arts applications.
I searched for a true internal taichi school and checked 5 other places in my exploration. When I came here I knew I found it! Master Park goes way beyond the shape and form and much more into the understanding of the foundational principles, mind state, feeling and awareness, all though comfort.
Master Wonchull Park brings a distinctive and extremely valuable combination of tai chi heritage and physical understanding to the study of tai chi. He is dedicated to seeing through some of the mysticism that can cloud some tai chi practices in order to help his students live and act in the world in a more efficient,…

New to tai chi? Start at Wuwei Tai Chi School
Wuwei Tai Chi School comes up as a beginner-friendly studio, going by its listing and students' reviews. If you've never tried tai chi, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first session. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — the movements are slow and gentle, you set your own pace, and many can be done seated if standing is hard. Second, there's nothing to buy and nothing to keep up with — wear comfortable clothes and flat, flexible shoes, and simply follow along. Third, all ages and abilities really are welcome — ask whether there's a dedicated beginners or all-levels class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most studios are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first tai chi class at Wuwei Tai Chi School
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.
