At age 8, she started figure skating and by age 11 she had won three gold medals in regional skating competitions. At the suggestion of her mom and coach, she began Tai Chi Chuan training with her father, Grandmaster William C.C. Chen. She entered her first Tui Shou (Push Hands) competition at age 16.
Tiffany now has over 40 gold medals for Yang Style Tai Chi, Fixed-Step, Restricted-Step, and Moving-Step Tui Shou. More than half are international or world titles. In recognition of her achievements and competitive spirit, Inside Kung-Fu magazine named Tiffany to its 2004 Hall of Fame as Competitor of the Year.

She won her first world championship in the event that same year at the World Kuoshu Federation Championships in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
