Yang Family

The Yang Family is a prominent Chinese martial arts lineage, known for its internal-style Tai Chi, which emphasizes slow, flowing movements, internal energy, and relaxation to promote health, balance, and self-defense. Founded by Yang Luchan in the 19th century, the style focuses on cultivating Qi (life energy) and applying graceful, circular techniques. The Yang Family has maintained a significant role in the development and dissemination of Tai Chi training, influencing both martial arts practitioners and health enthusiasts worldwide. Their approach combines gentle, continuous motion with deep internal principles, making it accessible and effective for a wide range of practitioners.
