From the age of twelve, Master Waysun Liao studied with a wandering Taoist and in a Taoist temple until he became a full Taichi and Tao master. His first book, T’ai Chi Classics (published by Shambala Publications) is currently translated into 9 languages worldwide. Since then, he has written several more, published by both Shambhala Publications and Taichi Tao Productions.

Considered one of the world’s foremost authorities on traditional Taoist wisdom and Chi arts, he is the founder and master of one of the oldest Taichi centers in North America, the Taichi Tao Center, which is located in Oak Park, Illinois. Thousands of Taichi students, many who went on to become professional Taichi instructors and Taichi masters, learned how to teach Taichi right here from classes at the Taichi Tao Center under Taichi Master Waysun Liao.
