The Tai Chi Center of Fresno is a non-profit organization dedicated to the study and instruction of Tai Chi Chuan as a structured discipline. Our teaching tradition began in Fresno more than fifty years ago; the school has maintained a consistent curriculum based on the Cheng Man-ching tradition.

Instruction is conducted by senior students who have trained extensively within this lineage and continue to refine their understanding through teaching and continued classes.
