The Celestial Tai Chi College of Australia was founded in January 1990 by two Chinese Masters, both of whom have credentials from their native Asia. They are Grand Master Eng Chor Khor, J.P. and Senior Master Chin Min Lian. However the roots of the Celestial Tai Chi College can be traced to 1976 when Grand Master Eng Chor Khor began teaching Tai Chi in Australia.

At the head of the Celestial Tai Chi College of Australia are two Chinese Masters. The pool of instructors and those in training all take their instruction and guidance from the Masters. We are lucky that they continue to take regular classes This allows students of all levels have easy access to the source of the system they train. Having the attention of one's regular instructors as well as Masters of such high quality is a strong aspect of the College

The Celestial Tai Chi College operates 20 centres around Melbourne, Victoria offering day and evening classes in Tai Chi Chuan, Qi Qong and various Wushu forms. It has one of the most comprehensive and systematic teaching syllabus for all students and specialised training program for instructors and trainee instructors.

The college also runs corporate classes in business hours and day classes in community centres. It has also conducted various courses and workshops in schools, colleges, business institutions, hospitals, Melbourne Remand Centre and The Royal Australian Air Force.
