Empire Tai Chi

EMPIRE TAI CHI

The Empire Tai Chi Group (ETC), with its headquarters in metropolitan New York, has been fortunate indeed. With New York being a magnet for so many varied peoples and ideas, the art of Tai Chi, including some wonderful and very accomplished teachers, have for many years found a warm and welcoming home throughout the area. Coupled with research centers, schools, universities, institutions and municipal centers, The Empire Tai Chi Group has been the beneficiary of New York's unique position as "The Melting Pot". Drawing from a huge population pool, The Empire Tai Chi Group incorporates the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut). This is a working population base of more than 20,000,000 people!

Teaching thousands of students for many years has given The Empire Tai Chi Group a deep reservoir of information including what types of instruction, courses, movements, statements, techniques and tools work best for a particular group or setting.

ETC has been meticulous and methodical in gathering and analyzing the information and has been selected to participate in several scientific and research studies including Aging in America, New York City Department of Aging, The Joint Efforts Initiative designed by The National Council on Aging (NCOA) and The Arthritis Management Program, ( A pilot project funded by Searle among others).

In addition to providing Tai Chi classes to organizations throughout the greater NY Metropolitan area; Empire has been selected to develop and implement comprehensive Tai Chi program(s) at world famous Institutions such as the Burke Rehabilitation Hospital and Dickstein Cancer Center.

We at The Empire Tai Chi Group take great pride in being able to report that our various Tai Chi programs are resounding successes. Having taught these programs to thousands of students of all ages and all settings, it is especially rewarding to provide programs that yield such direct and beneficial results.
