Improve your internal energy to balance mind and body, release inner tensions, and improve immune function. To start with, light wood or bamboo weapons are used for safety reasons. These weapon forms are lots of fun and are based on the same principles as the regular Wu-style Tai Chi form, so they will help you to improve your health, reduce stress and improve balance and posture.
Chinese brush & calligraphy is closely related to tai chi. In tai chi we do not block the chi so that it can flow freely through our bodies, which enhances our physical health and mental well being. In calligraphy, we again are taught not to block our chi, thereby allowing the energy to flow through out bodies, out to the brush and onto the paper; giving the calligraphy a beautiful, flowing look and feeling.
During these uncertain and stressful times more and more people are turning to personal trainers to help reduce their stress and keep fit. Many of us are spending more hours at our workplaces, under more stress. This can lead to increased muscle tension, headaches, and other physical ailments.

Master Henry Cheng and his students at the Tai Chi Wellness Center demonstrates "Push Hands". This exercise is used to train the student to be sensitive to opponent's move so that he/she upsets the opponent's balance. The emphasis is on using no force. You'll see that Master Henry is in a seated position in this demo.
What a beautiful way to start a day, practicing Tai Chi at the beach and creating harmony for oneself, the people practicing with you and the world around us. You can ask any student why they practice Tai Chi and you will get a number of different responses.
I know from my own experience as a student at the Tai Chi Wellness Center that if I don't practice Tai Chi my Arthritis in my back gets worse but when I do Tai Chi regularly I feel no symptoms of Arthritis.Stay Young at heart, in your mind, body and soul. Come join us, all are welcome, it will calm your mind and you will be surround by wonderful people.

If you could learn quickly, or learn deeply from a Master, which would you choose? If you chose the latter, the Tai Chi Wellness Center is a school you want to attend. Master Henry possesses great skill, and the ability to teach what can be taught so that we can learn the rest for ourselves. After over 5 years of learning from Master Henry, I can not recommend a skill to pursue or a Master to follow more than he. Hopefully, we will see you in class.

Master Henry Cheng teaches with patience and humor. His introductory class is challenging, but after a few classes you stop thinking “I’ll never be able to do this”, and you relax into knowing there will always be more to learn. Following Master Henry’s example, the students are respectful and helpful.
I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in learning tai chi to visit the Tai Chi Wellness Center.

I began studying Tai Chi wu style under Master Henry Cheng 3 1/2 years ago. Originally, I started because I was doing a mindfulness class and part of our homework was to do a mindful exercise. Tai Chi fits perfectly into this category. I quickly became an ardent fan of this beautiful martial arts and the incredible teachings of Master Henry. The San Diego area is very blessed to have such a skilled Tai Chi instructor. Master Henry is a fifth generation Master, teaching not only Tai Chi but Qi Gong, calligraphy and art. When you walk into the Tai Chi Wellness Center you will notice many beautiful

A local treasure!
I’ve been drawn to Tai Chi Wellness Center for several years, but only recently have been able to find the time to dedicate to Tai Chi practice. What can I say, the more I do it, the more amazing it feels!
So what’s so special about Tai Chi?
Well, there are so many layers to it! Most people may have an idea of what Tai Chi flow might look like (picture a group of people moving very slowly in unison in a park). What most people may not realize, is that Tai Chi is a high-level Martial Art with concrete self-defense applications of each move - it’s not just a moving meditation

Reminiscing all these years of studying Tai Chi, I may still be a beginner BUT I enjoy waking up every morning and practicing the Wu style Tai Chi form in my living room. It helps me to get ready for my day with a calm and peaceful mindset that prepares me for what the day may bring. By practicing Tai Chi, my health and immune system has greatly improved.
Also, in Tai Chi classes, I learned about life and how to treat people. Here is a favorite quote that I would like to share with you on Yelp by Lao Tzu from the Tao Te Ching book (read it slow, many times over. Enjoy. You're welcome : )

Master Henry of Tai Chi Wellness Center provides many options for students - from group beginner class to advanced to Chi Gong Energy class to Chinese calligraphy. I really like how he teaches the full art - both internal and the self defense portion of the art. Many of his classes are done after work hours so it's great for those of us who can't go during the day. He also offers classes in the weekends. His students love him and feel a deep connection with him - many students have been with him over 5 years which is a true testament to his teachings and his programs.
It's also in a very central
