Sun Style Tai Chi Classes

Sun style is the youngest of the major family styles, blending tai chi with the internal arts of bagua and xingyi. Its hallmarks are high, upright stances, lively 'follow-step' footwork, and qigong-style breathing woven through the form — a combination that's notably gentle on the knees and easy to adapt. That's exactly why Sun style forms the basis of Dr. Paul Lam's Tai Chi for Arthritis program, the joint-friendly routine used worldwide for arthritis and fall prevention. It suits older adults, people with joint concerns, and anyone wanting an especially gentle, health-focused way into tai chi. The 27 tai chi studios below show evidence of teaching Sun style — from the studio's own site or from students' reviews — ranked by rating, with the student mentions shown as proof.

The style a studio teaches comes from its own website, its Google business categories, and students' reviews. Many studios teach a simplified or blended form; if Sun style specifically is the reason you're choosing a studio, confirm it with them before you commit.
