There are many schools of Tai Ji Quan in China. They include Yang, Chen, Sun, Wu, Wu Dang, and Zhao Bao. The Yang School is the most popular and much learned by fans in the world. It was created by the Yang family in the Ancient Town of Guangfu, in the Yongnian District, Handan City, Hebei Province. There, people can be seen doing Tai Ji Quan everywhere in town, at schools, and in parks…It has become the most appealing symbol of culture in Guangfu.

An avid lover of Tai Ji Quan is Shaun Corne Collen, an overseas communication officer of the website "english.hebei.com.cn". He came to learn the sport after watching the classic Chinese movie "Tai Ji Zhang Sanfeng" in Chinese, which was translated as "Tai-Chi Master" starred by Jet Li. Hearing that the successor to the Yang School of Tai Ji Quan is teaching at the former residence of Yang Luchan who created the Yang School of Tai Ji Quan, he was eager to go there. Let's follow his footsteps, learn from the master, and feel the unique charm of Tai Ji Quan.
