2016 Tai Chi Demonstration To Celebrate World Tai Ji Day
Tai Chi Demonstration to celebrate World Tai Ji and Qi Gong Day Saturday, April 30, 2016 10:00 AM, Gus Canty Recreation Center, Falmouth
The day begins in New Zealand at 10:00 AM and Tai Ji followers around the world will demonstrate movements integral to the discipline. The demonstrations continue around the globe in each time zone at 10:00 AM until completed in Hawaii. It is celebrated in 65 nations worldwide on six continents the last Saturday of April each year.
Since 2005 the Cape Cod Guang Ping Tai Ji Quan Club has participated in the wave of calm and healing that spreads around the globe every year on the last Saturday in April. Tai Ji Quan is an internal martial art consisting of a set of 64 movements. The form was originated and developed in the 2nd and 3rd centuries, B.C.E by ancient Chinese sages who based the form on the movements of birds and animals. Practiced slowly with total body relaxation and no force, it is primarily an exercise for health that increases strength, balance and coordination. Experienced practitioners of the art can use this form for self-defense.
Join us at the Gus Canty Recreation Gym in Falmouth on Saturday, April 30 at 10 am for a demonstration by the Cape Cod Guang Ping Tai Ji Quan Club. www.capecodtaiji.org
