Red Deer (includes Lacombe and Rocky Mountain House)
Taoist Tai Chi™ internal art of Tai Chi Chuan (taijiquan) classes were first taught in Red Deer in late 1985. We became a Branch in July 2000 and had our Branch Grand Opening in January 2001.
We host a number of half and full day local and regional workshops in our branch and had the privilege of hosting a National Workshop in November 2008.
We hold a number of social and fund raising events throughout the year and perform demonstrations of our art throughout the communities we serve.
Our instructors and members regularly attend Workshops in Edmonton, Calgary and other branches as well as the Quiet Cultivation Center in Orangeville Ont. in order to maintain a high standard of instruction.
