Our Story

The journey of Vancouver Traditional Martial Arts Dojo began with a simple vision—a desire to create a space where anyone could experience the profound benefits of Tai Chi. Years ago, I found myself in a chaotic world, seeking relief from stress and a means to connect deeper with my own well-being. Through Tai Chi, I discovered not just a martial art but a way of life that honors balance and tranquility. Driven by this passion, I opened the dojo in Kitsilano, drawing inspiration from the community around me, and a strong desire to share this art. Each class is imbued with my personal philosophy: that physical health leads to mental clarity, and both serve as the foundation for a fulfilled life. Watching students grow and evolve strengthens my resolve—this dojo is more than brick and mortar; it’s a sanctuary where individuals can embark on their unique journeys to harmony.
