About MW Taichi & Wellness

Our Mission

Founded in January 2025, MW Taichi & Wellness was born from a vision to integrate traditional Chinese martial arts with modern sports science. We aim to promote cultural understanding, physical vitality, and emotional resilience through the wisdom of Tai Chi and Qigong — making ancient practices relevant to today’s world.
