Taiji fans to practise around Malta and Gozo to mark World Taiji Day

The first Taiji Relay Flash Mob is taking place on April 30 as part of World Taiji Day. 

Taiji (also known as Tai Chi) practitioners will travel on a traditional Maltese bus and practise at some of Malta’s most famous historical sites and tourist attractions: starting at 9am at the Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta, followed by Mdina City Gate around 10am. At 11.20am, participants will move on to Ħagar Qim Temple and Popeye Village at 12.50pm. Gozitan practitioners can join in the celebrations at the Citadel at 3pm.

Everyone, whether they practise Taiji or not, is invited to explore a variety of Taiji styles such as Taiji sword, Taiji saber, Taiji fan, Taiji Quan and Baduanjin, among others.

Participants will learn the concepts and philosophy of Taiji, practise the most famous poses and relax while appreciating the beauty of their surroundings. Taiji promotes a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

Participants are welcome to become Taiji ambassadors by sharing the photos and videos they take during the event on social media.

Following the event, a  filming team will make a short video, which will be shared by all organisers and participants, and used for media promotion.
