About Tai Chi And Chi Kung Institute

The Tai Chi and Chi Kung Institute teaches the traditional arts of Tai Chi and Chi Kung in Wayville, just south of the Adelaide CBD, with additional classes in North Adelaide and the Barossa region. Founded on authentic training lineage, the institute offers a path to better health, mobility and relaxation that suits all ages and fitness levels.

What distinguishes the institute is the depth of its instruction. Classes are led by highly credentialed, internationally trained teachers who keep their own skills sharp through regular ongoing instructor training. Students describe friendly, knowledgeable teaching and a genuine focus on both exercise and relaxation, with courses structured into terms for beginners and progressing students alike, including dedicated Chi Kung and Shaolin keep-fit streams.

This makes the institute a strong fit for people seeking a gentle yet meaningful form of movement, whether to ease stress, improve balance and flexibility, or build a lifelong practice. The term-based, pre-registration format suits those who value structured, sequential learning rather than drop-in sessions, and concession pricing makes it accessible for seniors. With its emphasis on traditional technique taught by accredited masters in a welcoming setting, it appeals to newcomers and returning students looking to deepen their practice in Adelaide.
