Chen Taijiquan Practical Method in the Bay Area

The information on this blog is intended to serve the Practical Method taijiquan community of the San Francisco Bay Area. The Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method was developed by Hong Junsheng, disciple of Grandmaster Chen Fa-Ke. We practice the form as taught by Hong's disciple Chen Zhonghua (Joseph Chen).

Special workshops and private lessons on Taijiquan theory and practice are available. Check out the calendar or the classes section of the website (chenstyletaiji.org) for specific class times and information. Or email nathan.heintz(at)gmail.com.

Nathan Heintz is a student of Chen Zhonghua, the International Standard Bearer of the Practical Method art. Through this blog I will be sharing training notes, relevant videos, photos, and reflections on taijiquan practice and theory. I also intend to provide a bit of a portal into the vast world that Grandmaster Hong's art has spawned. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy.

Map and Class Locations: Chen Taiji Practical Method of Oakland & the SF Bay Area


Here's a map of the places where I hold class. Off of Bellevue ave in Lakeside Park at Lake Merritt in Oakland there are two outdoor spots. One on the grassy knoll by the picnic tables next to the boating center, and the other across the road in the trees. The rainy day and alternate spot is near the fountain in the big pagoda on the North East corner of the Lake where Grand ave and Lakeshore converge. Click the map to enlarge. The form we practice is the Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method Yilu (First Set).
