Tai Chi/Qigong Class by Sifu Lady Lallaine Reed

In this critical time in the world, healing is something we all deeply need. Taichi Qigong isn’t just some old exercise. It’s a practice designed to help us restore balance, build energy, and tap into our body’s natural ability to heal itself.
 
We teach Taichi 24 Yang Style and include Qigong.
 
Qigong is more than just movement. It’s a spiritual practice that has crossed cultures and traditions. People who have spent lifetimes exploring mindfulness and healing practice Qigong because it holds a deep, timeless wisdom. It shows us that healing and growth aren’t just personal journeys but bridges that connect us all.
 
Now more than ever, it matters that we take the time to come back to ourselves. To move. To breathe. To heal. Whether you’re seeking peace, strength, clarity, or connection, Taichi Qigong offers a way forward.

GLENDALE, CA — Amidst the storied halls of the world’s most iconic combat relics, a different kind of power is taking root. The Martial Arts History Museum is thrilled to announce a transformative new residency: a premier Tai Chi and Qigong class series, launching May 14.

This is far more than a standard fitness class; it is an immersive wellness experience led by the legendary Lady Lallaine Reed, a certified Tai Chi / Qigong instructor, Museum Hall of Famer and one of the most revered Tai Chi experts on the global stage.

While the museum typically honors the warriors of the past, this initiative focuses on the longevity of the present. Tai Chi and Qigong, often described as “meditation in motion,” have served as the backbone of Chinese health for millennia and currently stand as the most practiced martial arts in the world. These ancient practices are renowned for improving balance and precision by strengthening the mind-body connection, increasing fluid mobility by limbering joints without high-impact stress, and boosting vital energy through the unique breathwork of Qigong.

“I feel it is our responsibility to reach out to the local community,” says Michael Matsuda, President of the Martial Arts History Museum. “Through this series, we aren’t just teaching a technique; we are providing the tools to make a tangible difference in people’s health and daily lives.”

The program is spearheaded by Lady Lallaine Reed, an accomplished martial artist whose expertise transcends standard certification. As a Hall of Fame inductee, Reed brings a depth of knowledge that bridges the gap between ancient tradition and modern physical therapy. She notes that there is a common misconception that Tai Chi is exclusively for the elderly, when in reality, everyone—from the high-performance athlete to the busy professional—can benefit from the centering power of these movements.

The museum invites families, individuals, and enthusiasts to step onto the floor and find their center. Each session offers a rare opportunity to learn in an environment surrounded by the very history of the arts being practiced. The classes begin on Thursday, May 14, and will be held twice monthly from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM.

The investment for this experience is $20 per class, which uniquely includes full admission to the museum. This allows participants and their families to explore the rich cultural tapestry of the martial arts world immediately following their practice.
