The practice of Tai Chi is about discovering yourself. It’s about forces of the world—both natural and unnatural—and how one relates to them… Art is about the same thing. -Li Zhi
For centuries, Tai Chi has been one of the foundational practices of Chinese martial arts. Its influence extends far beyond combat, serving as a path toward physical and mental well-being while inspiring philosophers, entrepreneurs, and artists across disciplines—including Ed Young.
Ed Young studied tai chi with Cheng Man-ch’ing (1902-1975). What began as physical training to help recover after a wrestling injury in college became a lasting engagement with Chinese art, culture, and philosophy. Over years of study—and as Cheng’s translator—Young developed a way of seeing in which body, mind, and imagination move in harmony.
Tai Chi Master Sherry Zhang returns to the Museum of Chinese in America for a special workshop exploring the origins and fundamental principles of Tai Chi through both discussion and hands-on practice. Throughout this two-hour experience, participants will also immerse themselves in the world of Ed Young’s art, discovering how the philosophy and movements of Tai Chi informed and shaped his creative process.
