They Gathered To Celebrate Tai Chi

On April 26, 2008 various groups of Tai Chi schools, teachers, and students gathered together at Reedy River Falls Park in Greenville, South Carolina. The event was the 2008 World Tai Chi and Qigong Day which is held annually in cities across the world on the last Saturday of April at 10:00am.

This beautifully filmed video of the event was shot by Valdas Kotovas. He filmed it all in slow motion using a Sony EX 1 camera. You can view his other wonderful films on his YouTube Channel and more about his work on his website valdasvideo.com

Some of the participants who attended this event and seen in the video include Jimmy Dong of the Greenville Chen Style Tai Chi School; Keith Davis, a practitioner of Chen Style Hunyuan Tai Chi; George Gantt of Equilibrium Zen Gym teaches Yang 24, sword, and fan; and Master Tony Wei, who unfortunately passed away in 2011 at the age of 90 years old.
