About this resource

About

Adaptive Tai Chi International is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created to make the documented health benefits of Tai Chi accessible to people with physical disabilities. The Wheelchair Taijiquan form at the heart of its curriculum was developed by Dr. Zibin Guo, a medical anthropologist and Taijiquan master, through sustained work with people with physical disabilities in both the United States and China.

What It Does

Adaptive Tai Chi International teaches four distinct practice forms adapted for different ability levels: conventional standing, stationary standing, seated in a chair, and seated in a wheelchair. The organization offers in-person group classes, personal training, and virtual on-demand sessions. Free programs are available for veterans, and evidence-based class structures support documented outcomes in aerobic capacity, strength, stress management, pain management, and quality of life.

Who It Helps

People with physical disabilities, wheelchair users, veterans with service-connected disabilities, and individuals with chronic conditions such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and stroke. Programs are suitable for all fitness levels.
