About Us
Our Lineage
Tai Chi Albania follows the authentic Chen Family lineage originating from Chenjiagou (Chen Village), Henan Province, China, the birthplace of Tai Chi Chuan.
The academy operates under the guidance and inspiration of Master Chen Bing, one of the most respected representatives of the twentieth generation of the Chen Family. Through this direct connection, students in Albania have access to traditional teachings transmitted through generations of dedicated practitioners.
Our goal is to preserve the integrity of Chen Style Tai Chi while creating a supportive community where students can grow physically, mentally, and spiritually.
20th Generation Chen Family
Master Chen Bing
Master Chen Bing is a 20th-generation descendant of the Chen Family and one of the internationally recognized representatives of authentic Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan.
Born in Chenjiagou, Henan Province, China, he began his training at an early age under the guidance of renowned masters including Grandmasters Chen Xiaowang and Chen Xiaoxing.
As a direct descendant of the family that created Tai Chi Chuan, Master Chen Bing has dedicated his life to preserving, promoting, and transmitting the traditional art throughout the world.
His teaching combines deep traditional knowledge with a modern understanding of health, movement, and personal development. Through seminars, workshops, and academies across Europe, Asia, and North America, he has helped thousands of students discover the benefits of authentic Chen Style Tai Chi.
Today, Master Chen Bing continues to serve as a bridge between the ancient traditions of Chen Village and contemporary practitioners worldwide.
