Attending a William C.C. Chen workshop is a rare opportunity to make a direct and personal connection to Tai Chi legend and at the same time experience Grandmaster Chen’s ability to connect with each student individually on a very personal level. This assures that everyone takes home something of value regardless of his/her level of experience.
