In 2005, a group of inspired Tai Chi practioners in the Atlanta area decided to form an organization to promote Tai Chi throughout the Southeast. This led to the formation of the South East Tai Chi Association (SETCA) in April of 2006.
The South East Tai Chi Association is dedicated to Research and Educational opportunities for the practice of Tai Chi to all individuals with added focus on disadvantaged and special needs youth.
The Association is incorporated as a non-profit entity in the state of Georgia, with its headquarters in Roswell, part of the greater Atlanta area.

Chen Fa-Ke (1887-1957) is one of the most renowned Tai Chi Chuan masters, especially for those familiar with Chen style. He is remembered for his diligent practice, honesty and tolerance. His simplicity and uprightness won him great respect from his disciples. Although he was held in high esteem as a Tai Chi master, he never belittled other schools. He believed something could be learned from all schools of Wushu.
