Who We Are
The South Africa Taijiquan Authority exists to bring together the many schools and lineages of Taijiquan in South Africa. We recognise that while traditions may differ in form, terminology, and expression, they share common theoretical foundations rooted in the classical principles of Taijiquan.
Our purpose is not to replace individual identities but to provide a framework of cooperation, education, and mutual respect so that the art may continue to flourish for future generations.
