Tai Chi Concho began in 2003 with four people who wanted to learn Tai Chi for health and wellness.  Today the club has introduced hundreds of people to the benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong. 

Some people come and learn Tai Chi and Qigong then move on.  Others remain to become certified Tai Chi practitioners and teach Tai Chi in local health clubs, assisted living facilities, universities, churches, and state facilities.  Among our many practitioners are doctors, nurses, and university professors, men and women from all walks of life.  

The money derived from membership dues and classes goes to pay our operating expenses.  At the end of the year we donate hundreds of dollars to local non-profit organizations that help children in need.

Tai Chi Concho is a Texas State licensed fitness program, fully insured, and approved by the City of San Angelo.  In 2010 our program was recognized with a city proclamation for its health and wellness benefits. 

For six years, our Tai Chi in the Park program has offered free public Tai Chi and Qigong outdoor sessions every week as a community service to fine people of San Angelo and the Concho Valley.  Our program has received national recognition by the World Tai Chi and Qigong Day Association as a bench-mark program for other cities. 

Our Master Instructor, Steve Haidinger has 12 years experience in Tai Chi and Qigong.  He is a certified professional member of the Health Preservation Association.  Steve is also certified as a level 1 and 2 Tai Chi for Arthritis instructor.  Steve currently studies under Tai Chi and Kung Fu Grand Master Jiang Jianye of Capital District Tai Chi and Kung Fu Assocaition.
