Clear’s Tai Chi is a results based accelerated learning program. We openly teach the high level internal “secrets” that the vast majority of Tai Chi masters only show behind closed doors to a very select few.
The mission of Clear’s Tai Chi is to fuel a revolution in Tai Chi Instruction through effective results based programs.
Our instructors constitute a confederation of legitimate Tai Chi practitioners united around a pursuit of the highest levels of internal skill, dedicated to sharing their knowledge and training the Tai Chi masters of tomorrow.
