Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan · Tirana · Founded 2022

Welcome to Tai Chi Albania

Tai Chi Albania is the official home of Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan in Albania. Founded in 2022 under the guidance of Master Chen Bing and established by his disciple, Laoshi Tan Xiao, Tai Chi Albania is dedicated to preserving and sharing authentic Chen Family Tai Chi traditions.

Our Mission

Traditional internal arts, open to everyone

Training hall

Through regular classes, workshops, seminars, outdoor training sessions, and community events, we offer students an opportunity to cultivate physical health, mental clarity, emotional balance, and deeper self-awareness.

Our mission is to make traditional Chinese internal arts accessible to people of all ages while maintaining the integrity of the Chen Family lineage. Students learn not only movements and forms but also principles of relaxation, harmony, self-cultivation, and mindful living.

The school welcomes practitioners from all backgrounds, whether they seek better health, stress reduction, personal growth, or a deeper understanding of traditional Chinese culture.

What Students Cultivate

Physical Health

Correct posture, alignment, and relaxed movement built through steady practice.

Mental Clarity

Attention trained through form work, silk reeling, and quiet repetition.

Emotional Balance

Relaxation exercises that release tension and settle the breath.

Deeper Self-Awareness

Our Philosophy

Tai Chi Albania believes that Tai Chi is more than a physical exercise. It is a path of self-cultivation that develops harmony between body, mind, and spirit.

Through consistent practice, students learn patience, awareness, balance, relaxation, and resilience. These principles extend beyond training and support a healthier and more conscious way of living.

Our aim is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where practitioners of all ages and backgrounds can grow together while preserving the rich traditions of Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan.
