New Mailing Address - We're Moving!
With the uncertainties brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, we have decided to stop in-person training until it is safer to do so. We are temporarily closing the Academy to direct our resources to online training. It has been a wonderful space and we’ve enjoyed it for many years, but it seems like the right time to move on. We will be looking for a more convenient and potentially larger space in the spring when we hope it will be safer to train indoors.
Our new mailing address as of October 1:
Wu’s Tai Chi Chuan Academy-Ann Arbor LLC
23636 Michigan Avenue, Suite 638
Dearborn, MI 48124
