The Chattanooga Tai Ji Community (CTJC) calls the beautiful scenic city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, its home. Chattanooga is located in the southeast corner of the State of TN and it has convenient access to the the Tri-State region and to cities such as Atlanta, GA, Nashville, TN and Birmingham, AL. Shaped by the principles of Chinese Martial Arts and healing arts, Tai Ji Quan has become one of the most popular and effective mind/body exercises in the world. CTJC seeks to communicate the benefits and promote the study of Tai Ji in the Chattanooga area. CTJC sponsors workshops, seminars & demonstrations. These events are made available to the community.

In Tai Chi Chuan, the traditional Chinese martial and healing art, we learn to overcome challenges by empowering the mind and transforming the body. Adaptive Tai Chi offers an innovative approach that speaks to this powerful idea and makes Tai Chi accessible and beneficial to people with a range of physical conditions or ambulatory impairment.
