Ancient Flow Meets Modern History: Martial Arts History Museum Announces Exclusive Tai Chi & Qigong Series

GLENDALE, CA - April 22, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Amidst the storied halls of the world’s most iconic combat relics, a different kind of power is taking root. The Martial Arts History Museum is thrilled to announce a transformative new residency: a premier Tai Chi and Qigong class series, launching May 14.

This is far more than a standard fitness class; it is an immersive wellness experience led by the legendary Lady Lallaine Reed, a certified Tai Chi / Qigong instructor, Museum Hall of Famer, and one of the most revered Tai Chi experts on the global stage.

While the museum typically honors the warriors of the past, this initiative focuses on the longevity of the present. Tai Chi and Qigong, often described as "meditation in motion," have served as the backbone of Chinese health for millennia and currently stand as the most practiced martial arts in the world. These ancient practices are renowned for improving precision balance by strengthening the mind-body connection, increasing fluid mobility by limbering joints without high-impact stress, and boosting vital energy through the unique breathwork of Qigong.

"I feel it is our responsibility to reach out to the local community," says Michael Matsuda, President of the Martial Arts History Museum. "Through this series, we aren't just teaching a technique; we are providing the tools to make a tangible difference in people’s health and daily lives."

The program is spearheaded by Lady Lallaine Reed, an accomplished martial artist whose expertise transcends standard certification. As a Hall of Fame inductee, Reed brings a depth of knowledge that bridges the gap between ancient tradition and modern physical therapy. She notes that there is a common misconception that Tai Chi is exclusively for the elderly, when in reality, everyone - from the high-performance athlete to the busy professional - can benefit from the centering power of these movements.

The museum invites families, individuals, and enthusiasts to step onto the floor and find their center. Each session offers a rare opportunity to learn in an environment surrounded by the very history of the arts being practiced. The classes begin on Thursday, May 14, and will be held twice monthly (every other Thursday) from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM and held in the museum.

The investment for this experience is $20 per class, which uniquely includes full admission to the museum. This allows participants and their families to explore the rich cultural tapestry of the martial arts world immediately following their practice.
