Beginning in 2026, the World Taiji Science Federation (WTSF) will host the Tai Chi Masters Lecture Series every spring (around April) and fall (around September) across North America. The goal of this program is to promote and advance Chinese martial arts—particularly Taiji (Tai Chi), Health Qigong, and traditional Kung Fu—throughout North America and around the world.
This lecture series is led by renowned Tai master and WTSF President Master Shudong Li. The first group of invited guest instructors includes:
The Tai Chi Masters Lecture Series focuses on the transmission of traditional Taiji skills, practical applications, Health Qigong, and traditional Kung Fu foundations. Courses combine theoretical instruction with hands-on practice, making them suitable for martial arts coaches, practitioners, and researchers at all levels.
Events will be held in multiple cities across North America.
Detailed venue information and schedules will be announced later.
