My Journey to Chen Village as a 5 Year Students
Living in Chen Jiagou, or Chen Village, for over five years (2017–2023) has been nothing short of life-changing. Coming from Boston, a city filled with incredible Tai Chi teachers, you might wonder why I decided to travel halfway across the world. The answer is simple: I wanted to find the source, the birthplace of Tai Chi, and learn its original style in its purest form. Don’t get me wrong, you can learn a lot from a senior instructor or even a short class, but Tai Chi is an ocean of knowledge. You can’t truly grasp its depth in just a few days.
