MadMonk Tai Chi

About

MadMonk Tai Chi offers classes in the Yang 37 posture form as taught by Cheng Man Ching, serving students of all levels in their mirrored studio in Ridgewood. The studio provides instruction in beginner and advanced Tai Chi, as well as sword and sensing hands classes. The business welcomes an open-hearted community of practitioners and emphasizes moving in harmony with oneself and others.

The studio's approach is rooted in the philosophy of the misfit monks of the past, who lead with humor and compassion. Classes focus on understanding the essence of each movement through individual attention and creative instruction. Students work with the same Yang 37 form practiced widely across New York City and Boston, allowing for connection with a broader community of practitioners. The practice aims to develop mental clarity, physical flexibility, balance, and a sense of calm combined with sustained energy.

Services include:

• Beginner Tai Chi classes
• Advanced Tai Chi classes
• Tai Chi sword classes
• Sensing hands classes
• Individual form corrections and instruction
