World Tai Chi Day with the Golden Rooster school
We have celebrated this event every year since we formed in 2004, in fact if you include 'Eastern Wave,' we have participated since 2000. The 2021 Norwich World Tai Chi Day is going to be somewhat unusual this year, but, as everyone, and everything else has been affected by the Covid 19 Pandemic, it's hardly surprising that this event also has to be different.
As always we join with our students and followers, in congratulating the founders and organisers of the WTCD Movement on creating and continuing such a happy and beneficial world wide celebration of life. It has given thousands of people the opportunity to experience tai chi, and the related arts. So this year we urge our students and followers in Norwich, and Coimbra, and the world beyond, to go outside and (Following local and national guidance) Safely celebrate world tai chi within theiir own personal bubble.. We are sorry we can not be with you all this year, a year that has been so tough for so many. But we hope you will join us in spirit and in your own garden, or park for another global celebration. Happy world tai chi day 2021! Keith, Gloria, and Dorothy |
