Your studio's teaching deserves a home
Form sequences get demonstrated but rarely written. Mandarin names blur for new students. Lineage history, Chen, Yang, Wu, Sun, sits in conversation. C3NTR is a quiet place to write it all down once, in your studio's voice.
Who this is for
Studios with multiple teachers
Two or more teachers, several classes a week. C3NTR holds the shared standard so every teacher draws from the same library.
Teacher training programmes
You're training the next generation of teachers. C3NTR holds the curriculum your trainees read: the practices, the philosophy, the lineage.
Built for teachers, not for IT
Your teacher opens the app, taps Edit, and writes the next form breakdown in plain prose. The next class, students arrive knowing the sequence.
Write directly in the app
Like a notepad. New articles are drafts until you publish, so nothing goes live by mistake.
Mobile-first authoring
Edit on the phone between classes or on the way home. The same library, the same edit screen.
A working library in under an hour
Import the starter template in a few taps. Edit anything that doesn't fit. Publish when ready.
Levels, beginner, intermediate, advanced, teacher training
Content locked by level, in your studio's progression
Tag any article with a minimum level. Beginners see basic form. Intermediate see push hands. Advanced see weapons and applications. The same library, the right view per student.
A glossary of tai chi terminology
Tai chi carries its own language. C3NTR's glossary holds the terms in one place: the names, your studio's translation, and the article each term appears in.
- Wuji
- Wuji (無極), the state of emptiness before movement begins. The standing posture before and after every Tai Chi form.
- Sōng
- Sōng (鬆), relaxed, released. Free of unnecessary tension. The single most important quality in Tai Chi.
- Dan Tian
- Dan Tian (丹田), the centre below the navel. Often translated as "elixir field" or simply "the centre."
- Qi
- Qi (氣), life energy, vital force. The animating quality that breath, movement and attention work with in Tai Chi and in Chinese medicine.
- Peng
- Peng (掤), ward-off energy. An expansive, buoyant, springlike quality in the body's structure. The first of Tai Chi's eight energies.
- Tui Shou
- Tui Shou (推手), push hands. A two-person sensitivity exercise practised across most Tai Chi traditions.
Workshops, retreats, teacher training
C3NTR isn't only the library. Schedule the next workshop, post retreat dates, and let students see what's ahead. Announcements land on their Today tab and events sit on the calendar.
Start from our Tai Chi template
A working starter with 15 articles, 2 short videos, a 9-terms glossary across 5 tags (Getting Started, Foundations, The Form, Principles, Practising Daily). Import in a few taps, then edit anything that doesn't fit your school. Every article, term and tag is yours from the moment you import.

Common questions
Can students only see their level's material?
Yes. Tag any article with a minimum level. Beginners see only foundations. Teachers and senior students see everything.
Does it cover Chen, Yang, Wu, Sun?
C3NTR is lineage neutral. The library is yours to fill: Chen, Yang, Wu, Sun or your own teacher's transmission.
Can my studio customise the tai chi template?
Yes. Every article, practice and term is editable. Add your studio's sequencing, your cueing language and your tradition.
How long does it take to set up?
Most schools have a working library in under an hour. Import the starter template in a few taps, then edit anything that doesn't fit. Starting blank takes a little longer. Allow an hour or two to write your first ten articles. Students can use the app the day you publish.
Do I have to stop using my booking system?
No. C3NTR is a knowledge library for your curriculum, terminology and progressions. Booking, billing and scheduling stay with the tools you already use.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Seed is free forever for up to 30 students, with no credit card required. Move up to School (£39/mo) or Academy (£69/mo) when you outgrow it.
