We are located near Zeke's Auto Parts and Habitat For Humanity. From the main street in Taos (Paseo del Pueblo Sur), at Wal-Mart turn west onto Camino de la Merced. Go one block and turn left on Reed Street. Go two blocks and turn right on Alexander Street. We are in the second building on the left side of the street.

Located in the beautiful city of Taos in northern New Mexico, The Taos Chinese Boxing Center is there for ambitious individuals interested in learning the art of Tiek Soo Chang Chuan Fa.

Thank you for your interest in Chinese Boxing and Tiek-Soo-Chang Ch'uan Fa also known as Dong Shou Chang Ch'uan Fa. This system has also been referred to as the "One Heart Way" and it's origins are rooted in the Buddhist and Taoist temples of China. The primary influence is the praying mantis style of Shaolin kung fu. The contribution of the Taoist influence comes primarily from a temple in northern China called the Wudangshen. The combination of these two evolved long ago into a well guarded system containing 31 open handed kuen (forms or sets of techniques) up to the black belt/black sash or expert level. The entire system contains over one hundred forms including empty hand & weapons (one & two-man) and has been described as requiring at least a decade to experience, a lifetime to understand and two lifetimes to master.

With a humble heart, I invite you to experience the beauty of this martial art.

These Chinese Temple Boxing classes teach the traditional moving meditation forms of Tiek-Soo-Chang Ch'uan Fa, a Chinese Kempo system with a lineage spanning over 2,000 years.

Tiek-Soo-Chang is an ancient Chinese Kempo (way of the fist), fist and foot fighting, martial arts system combining the best of traditional northern and southern kung fu styles.

Historical, cultural and philosophical knowledge is included in the core training, as well as training in the three critical aspects of personal safety: awareness, tactical theory and practical application, bridging the gap from ancient traditional to the modern world.

Instruction available for beginner, intermediate and advanced. Traditional Chinese weapons classes offered at the intermediate level.

The elevation of Taos is over 7000 feet. It is highly beneficial to train at high altitudes. At high altitudes there is less oxygen in the air. If you train, you force the heart to pump harder to get oxygenation in your blood. The result is increased muscular endurance and eventually, your body creates more red blood cells than a person who lives at sea level. When a person who trains at high altitude travels to a lower elevation, they will feel an increase in cardiovascular strength for several days. These effects reduce over time as the body acclimates to the lower altitude.
