Yunjian Zou Founder and President

“... My vision is to develop this foundation into the epicenter of cultural and educational activities in the community; giving every person, no matter at what age, what race, or where you are from, the opportunity to achieve his or her fullest potential...”

“As one of our first projects, we have organized a special training camp for our Tai Chi team to prepare students for the upcoming competition season. Training begins next week.”

“The USA national team try outs are coming up in a couple of months. The USA Taichi Culture Foundation will support our students for the try outs, and hopefully later in the year attend the second Taichi World Championship.

Maria Tzankova Secretary
