AI image by LocalRankTai chi and qigong classes in Singapore run in a surprising range of places, from community clubs and SAFRA clubhouses to martial arts studios and dedicated schools. This guide looks at five providers whose own websites describe current classes, so you can compare styles, venues and how to enrol before committing. Details such as styles, instructors and schedules are reported as each provider publishes them, and they change from term to term, so treat the entries as a starting shortlist. Check the provider's site or message it for the latest intake, ask whether a trial or observation visit is possible, and pick a venue you can reach comfortably each week.
1. Taiji.sg
A Singapore tai chi school whose site describes two traditional routines: a Huang style 37-step form and a Yang style 108-step form. Its public group courses are listed at community centres and a SAFRA clubhouse, with classes across several neighbourhoods and weekday or weekend slots. The site says classes mix two or three skill levels and that new members usually join at the start of a fresh term, with an interest registration form to fill in first. It also lists corporate sessions, private classes and revision or push-hands courses for existing members. Theresa Yeong is named as founder and head coach, alongside other named coaches. Check its courses page for the current term and availability.

2. JunWu Taiji
JunWu Taiji runs weekly evening tai chi classes at community clubs in different parts of the island, and its site lists Tampines, Yishun and Thomson sessions plus a Saturday morning slot at Kallang. It describes the classes as suitable for beginners and for more experienced practitioners, and also offers private coaching and corporate group sessions. The site frames its teaching around body, mind and the balance between movement and stillness, and it does not name a single style on the pages we read. A trial lesson is booked through a WhatsApp button on its homepage. Its news posts include a 2025 year-in-review and community event write-ups, so the site shows recent activity.

3. NewAgeTaichi
A long-running Singapore operator whose site carries a 2006 to 2026 copyright line and a recent update. It lists a wide menu: many taiji routines, including Yang, Chen and Sun based forms, Wudang forms, sword, fan and stick work, and qigong such as standing meditation, Ba Duan Jin, Dao Yin Shu and the Five Animals, with an online qigong course also advertised. Formats include personal and duet coaching, small groups, corporate classes and customised programmes. Master Jane Tan and Master Yip See Kit are named as instructors. The site also lists unrelated fitness courses, and its pages point to Choa Chu Kang for classes, so confirm the venue with the school before enrolling.

4. Nam Wah Pai
Nam Wah Pai presents itself as a Singapore qigong and tai chi school. Its site lists Qigong for Healing, a traditional Yang style tai chi programme that includes the 108 slow form, tai chi for self-defence and a group of Chinese internal martial arts such as Xing Yi Quan and Ba Gua Zhang. The school describes its headquarters as being in Singapore and gives a Geylang address, with phone, email and WhatsApp routes for enquiries, plus Facebook, Instagram and YouTube links. The site shows a 2026 copyright notice and recent image uploads, though class timetables were not published on the pages we read, so ask the school which sessions are currently open to new students.
5. Martial House
Martial House is a wushu academy that says it has operated since 2006, with studios in Grantral Mall near Tai Seng. Most of its programmes are for children and competitive training, but its adult section includes a Lifestyle Taiji class, which the academy describes as a balanced Taiji practice built around wellbeing and mindfulness. According to its programmes page, the class centres on Yang style Taijiquan, starting with fundamentals before moving on to applications such as push hands, and it runs at its second studio. Class schedules and trial bookings go through the academy's online booking page, and a WhatsApp link handles enquiries. It suits people who want a taiji class inside a wushu academy rather than a community-club course.

How to choose
- Start with the style that suits you. Providers describe Yang, Chen, Sun, Huang and Wudang routines differently, and a short form takes less time to learn than a long one. Ask which form the beginner term teaches and how long it takes to reach the full routine.
- Work out the practical logistics first. Compare venue, weekday or weekend timing and term length, because a class you can reach easily each week is more likely to stick. Community-club courses often run in fixed terms, so check when the next intake opens and whether places are still available.
- Ask about the class level mix and size. Some schools combine two or three skill levels in one session, while others run intakes for beginners only. Find out whether you can watch a session or take a trial, and what a beginner is expected to bring.
- If you are interested in qigong rather than tai chi, confirm that the provider actually runs it as a regular class and not only as a one-off workshop. Ask what the sessions involve, whether they are in person or online, and who teaches them.
- Read each provider's own claims as claims. Instructors' titles, lineages and course descriptions are the provider's statements, so ask for the teacher's background in person. Check refund and make-up policies in writing before paying, and tell the teacher about any injury or health condition beforehand.
