Sifu James Man Chin began his T’ai Chi Ch’uan training with Lao Shi Howard Lau in 1996 at the Imperial Academy of Martial Arts and Sciences in NYC.
After relocating to California, he further studied the Yang Style T’ai Chi Ch’uan 24 Movement form with Master Steven Tsao. Afterwards, Sifu Chin became a Tai Chi student of Master Li, Shu-dong for both Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan - 24 Movement Form and Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan. Master Li’s grand-uncle, Li Tianji created in 1956 the first standardized simplified Taijiquan in Chinese history: 24-Form Simplified Taijiquan and he earned the title “Father of Contemporary Taijiquan.” Currently, Sifu Chin teaches T’ai Chi Ch’uan for the Contra Costa Chinese School at Diablo Valley College on Saturdays and also at CSU San Jose State University during the weekday evenings.
