At Ivy Gymnastics, we are proud to offer comprehensive Tai Chi programs that blend ancient wisdom with modern wellness practices. Our programs are designed to promote physical harmony, mental clarity, and emotional resilience for participants of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you're a student exploring new ways to stay active, a busy professional seeking stress relief, or a community member looking to connect through mindful movement, our Tai Chi sessions provide a welcoming space to thrive.
Drawing from over 50 years of martial arts expertise, our programs emphasize Yang-style Tai Chi, incorporating gentle flows, deep breathing, and meditative techniques. No prior experience is needed—our certified instructors guide beginners through foundational forms while offering advanced variations for seasoned practitioners. Sessions focus on slow, controlled movements to build strength, flexibility, and balance, all while fostering a sense of inner peace.
David Schneider, the founder and lead instructor, brings a lifetime of dedication to martial arts. His journey began in 1970 with Kempo Karate in New York, evolving through Uechi-Ryu Karate (where he earned a black belt) and into Yang-style Tai Chi under renowned masters like Chu Gin Soon and students of Ip Tai Tak. Having called Hong Kong home for 25 years, David has immersed himself in the region's rich martial arts culture, sharing its benefits globally.
In 2003, he established Wavingclouds Production Ltd., organizing seminars, cultural performances, and events featuring top martial artists from Beijing and Hong Kong. With certifications from the International Tai Chi Association and Hong Kong Tai Chi Federation, plus CPR and first aid training, David ensures every session is safe, supportive, and transformative.
Assisted by local Sifus , who specializes in adaptive techniques and cultural integration, our team delivers personalized instruction with a 1:15 ratio for optimal engagement.
