As people lay more importance on heath and a healthy lifestyle, tai chi is gaining popularity among people of all ages. Chen Zhenglei, a tai chi master, established Zhenglei Tai Chi Academy in March 2016. Having set up more than 100 schools worldwide, he hopes to bring the discipline to the rest of the world and enable more practitioners to benefit from traditional tai chi.
