Blackburn Tai Chi Academy - Melbourne, Australia

The Blackburn Tai Chi Academy was formed in 1982 by Sifu John Yuen (student of Grandmaster Cheng Tin Hung and Master Ng Kam Kee) and teaches traditional Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan (long form).

As an ancient health and martial art system, Wu Style Tai Chi includes aspects of meditation, breathing, stretching and relaxation that promotes physical, mental and spiritual vitality in people of all ages.
