Tai Chi Nashville is a tai chi instruction program based in Nashville, Tennessee, teaching the Yang style short form of tai chi chuan. It is affiliated with the School of Tai Chi Chuan and the T’ai Chi Foundation, a not-for-profit educational organization. The Nashville program offers in-person classes for beginning through continuing students, along with online courses, and frames tai chi as a practice for health, balance, and personal development rather than as a competitive sport.
Services
Tai Chi Nashville structures its instruction into a series of courses that progress from introductory to more advanced material. For the Spring 2026 term, the in-person offerings listed include Beginning 1 and 2 (Saturday 9:00 to 9:50 am), Beginning 2 and 3 (Saturday 8:00 to 8:50 am), 8 Ways and Form (Saturday 10:00 to 10:50 am), and Form plus Fun (Tuesday 5:30 to 6:20 pm). Online courses delivered via Zoom are also available for students who prefer to learn remotely or who are continuing their study from a distance. The curriculum centers on learning and refining the Yang style short form, with classes grouped so that newer and returning students can progress through the form in stages.
About
Tai Chi Nashville traces its lineage to 1976, when the program was founded by Patrick Watson at the request of Grand Master Cheng Man-Ch’ing. It operates as part of the broader T’ai Chi Foundation, which the organization describes as a not-for-profit educational body with “over 250 instructors teaching Tai Chi classes in 30-plus cities around the world.” This affiliation ties the Nashville classes to an established international teaching network and a consistent curriculum rooted in the Cheng Man-Ch’ing tradition of tai chi chuan.
