International Shen Long Tai Chi Association
The International Shen Long Tai Chi Association was founded by Master Wu Kuo Chung (吳國忠) with its headquarters in Taiwan and schools in several parts of the world, including the USA, Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand and, of course, the United Kingdom.
The Association seeks to promote the true art of Traditional Tai Chi around the world, as a jewel of Chinese culture and philosophy, for improved health, as a martial art, for spiritual enlightenment and application of its principles in everyday life.
Since 2002, the Association has been located in the mountainous areas of central Taiwan (see picture). Every year members from all over the world gather here for the annual Shen Long Day, which is an opportunity to meet and make new friends, and partake in intensive Tai Chi practice over the course of a week. The climax of the week is a banquet of Chinese cuisine and performances by participants, and usually some time is allocated to sightseeing in Taiwan.
The Shen Long Tai Chi Association UK was formed in 2005 as a non-profit organization to spread the art, skills, and philosophies of Traditional Tai Chi based on the teachings of Cheng Man Ching from his final years.
