Thousands Gather for Taichi at International Competition

CCTV+  -  Published September 28, 2016

Over 11,000 enthusiasts of Chinese martial art Taijiquan, 
or Taichi, came together on Wednesday to practice the 
ancient martial art in the city of Handan, north China’s 
Hebei Province, as part of the activities held during the 
13th International Taijiquan Competition. 

The Taichi practitioners gathered at the historical and 
cultural site of Guangfu ancient city in Yongnian county, 
which dates back over 2,600 years, to perform the martial 
art, which is often practiced by those of various ages 
for its perceived health benefits. 

The competition itself has attracted about 2,000 
participants from 23 countries and regions, and aims 
to serve as a platform for Taichi practitioners to 
communicate with each other and spread the 
Chinese tradition.

Handan city, known for the origin of the 
Yang and Wu styles of Taichi, held its first 
international Taichi competition in 1991.

MYSTERIES OF THE LIFE FORCE: 

My Apprenticeship with 

a Chi Kung Master

This book is the story of author, Peter Meech's,

first seven years of training with Dr. Chow, a 

chi kung master, formerly from Shanghai, China. 

Meech's originally intended interview with the master 

in Toronto evolves into a journey of profound revelations 

as he becomes a student and delves into the amazing 

world of chi, life force energy, and its many aspects and 

manifestations. Meech's account tells of his reality-

changing discoveries as his master takes him into 

a world where chi is the driving force behind all 

living things. A fascinating book that's very 

difficult to put down.
  

"Sparkles with wit, wisdom, and facts found 
nowhere else. If another book on chi kung is 
more engaging, I haven't read it."
