Grandmaster Sam Tam

Internal Martial Art - Tai Chi and Yi Chuan

The practice of Internal Martial Art helps to reduce stress, increase balance and flexibility. It has also been known to ease arthritis pain, as well as build muscle strength and enhance balance and flexibility. Tai Chi and Yi Chuan are internal martial arts with serious applicability to self defense as well as for health maintenance.

We practice Yang style Tai Chi Chuan, as passed down from Grandmaster Sam Tam. Another major focus of our practice involves aspects of Yi Quan's Zhan Zhang standing meditation as handed down from Wang Xiang Zhai, Han Hsing-Yuen and Grandmaster Sam Tam.

The focus of our practice is on correct internal martial art principal as demonstrated and taught by Grandmaster Sam Master Tam and Jordan Misner Tam. The core of the program is developed from Yi Quan's Zhan Zhuang standing meditation practice, Qi development and hands on training with Master Tam. You will learn about internal strength and energy developed via a hands on learning experience of mind/body connections. Internal strength and the ability to understand, feel and use internally generated energy develops and strengthens any martial or sports endevour.

The purpose of our web site is to introduce Grand Master Tam's teachings to a broader world wide audience and share a way of life that is about using his art to cultivate the whole person. Grandmaster Tam's students span the world in areas such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Tucson, Europe, New Zealand and Japan.
