Wu Style Tai Chi Classes

Wu style is known for its softer, more compact frame and a characteristic slight forward lean, with smaller, closer movements than the expansive Yang form. It grew out of the Yang lineage and became one of the most popular styles in its own right, especially valued for its gentle, refined feel and its emphasis on relaxation and subtle internal work. The compact, low-strain movements can be well suited to older practitioners or anyone with limited mobility. It suits people who prefer a quieter, more inward practice, or who find smaller movements more comfortable. The 54 tai chi studios below show evidence of teaching Wu style — from the studio's own site or from students' reviews — ranked by rating, with the student mentions shown as proof.
