Hong Kong Club Tai Chi Group Inc.

Hong Kong Club Tai Chi Group is a community-based tai chi group serving Balwyn, Surrey Hills and the surrounding eastern Melbourne suburbs. With a focus on traditional Chinese internal arts, it offers a welcoming environment to learn tai chi for health, balance, focus and gentle, low-impact movement that suits all ages and fitness levels.

The group runs structured tuition rather than casual drop-ins, working through a foundation course in Bafa Wubu, the Eight Methods and Five Steps that draws on five tai chi schools, as well as Push Hands partner practice across introductory and more advanced levels. Teaching is delivered by experienced senior instructors, with classes organised into terms of around twenty weeks and periodic workshops that let members deepen specific aspects of their practice.

Beyond the movement itself, the group has a strong social and community dimension, hosting annual dinners, open days, barbecues and other gatherings that bring members together. For people in the Balwyn area seeking a calm, mindful and sociable way to stay active, improve coordination and connect with others, the group offers an established and friendly home for ongoing tai chi practice.
