Waysun Liao

From the age of twelve, Master Waysun Liao studied with a wandering Taoist and in a Taoist temple in Taiwan until he became a full Taichi and Tao master. Considered one of the world's foremost authorities on traditional Taoist wisdom and Chi arts, he is the founder and master of one of the oldest Taichi centers in North America. The Taichi Tao Center, founded in 1971, remains the worldwide teaching headquarters for Master Waysun Liao and is located in Oak Park, Illinois.

Master Waysun Liao represents the heritage of Tao masters carrying and transmitting the ancient oral traditions concerning the nature and the power of Tao. He shares his wisdom with students across the world. Other Taichi instructors, learning centers, martial arts masters, spiritual teachers, and Taichi group leaders around the world today learned Taichi and Tao teaching from him and call him “Grandmaster Waysun Liao.” This reference means that they see the unlimited potential within this wisdom and the amazing benefits in learning Taichi through Master Liao, and want to claim a part of that powerful legacy.

The good news is that now everyone can learn from Waysun Liao as their own grandmaster.

In addition to several leading books on Taichi, Chi and Tao, he has compiled a complete Taichi learning system on streaming online video at Taichitao.tv. The videos preserve the ancient temple teachings on moving meditation, the Tao, and internal energy development.
