History

Established in 2014.

Ancient Root Taiji was founded in Madison, Wisconsin as a return to the foundational principles of Chen-style Taijiquan—honoring traditional training while making it accessible to modern practitioners. Rooted in practices like silk reeling, standing meditation, and mindful movement, the school continues to grow as a community dedicated to cultivating health, awareness, and inner strength through the living art of Taiji.

Meditation, Martial Arts, and Alternative Health, has been a big part of my life since about 1980. I was introduced to Tai Chi in 1988 and it has been a constant thread in my life since that time. I have used it in support of my other Martial Arts Training and to empower different parts of my life.
