40th Anniversary Celebrations for 2010
Master Moy Lin-shin founded the Society in 1970. In 2010 we celebrate our 40th anniversary. View the video announcement of our 40th anniversary by the President of the International Taoist Tai Chi Society, Dr Karen Laughlin.

Check out Dr. Bruce MacFarlane's notes on anatomy and physiology at the Society's new blog.
“The Tiger's Mouth” is the official blog of the International Taoist Tai Chi Society. For those of you who are members of the Society, think of it as a virtual extension of the tea break in your regular tai chi class. This is where we'll socialize, share stories, make important announcements, and keep the ever-growing community of Society members connected beyond the four walls of our local branches.

For those of you who aren't members, think of it as a taste of the world's largest nonprofit tai chi organization with more than 40,000 members in 26 countries that span the globe. We hope you'll be inspired by the deep passion our members feel for this organization to consider becoming a member of the society and joining one of our beginners classes near you.
