Since 2003 we have been organizing events with the members of the Yang Family (direct descendants of Yang Luchan, creator of the Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan). They frequently visit us to train students and spread the Traditional Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan. We also visit and practice abroad with the direct descendants of the Five Tai Chi Families: Chen, Yang, Wu, Hao and Sun, where the students learn the differences between the different styles and their applications.
The Temple’s work has been recognized by dozens of media in Mexico, the US and Latin America, as well as by several movie and television celebrities. You can browse through our gallery, and our Articles and Media Coverage sections. Among our tasks is also the spreading and teaching of Chinese traditions, such as the Lion Dance, the Chinese New Year and Wushu. To accomplish this, we use several types of media to take the teachings everywhere: we have a publishing house that prints books and newsletters, videos on DVD and digital material, among others. We also have regular paid classes and free classes for the community.
The students have the chance to take part in national and international events, which allow them to exchange experiences with their fellow students from other countries and learn directly from the great masters in their visits.
