理事長的話

Greetings from the Chairman of the Board

時光荏苒、時序轉換，又是春暖花開的時節。2022年3月2日本人正式就任中華民國太極拳總會第14屆理事長，同時接任中華國際太極拳聯盟總會第五屆理事長。雙重重擔壓肩頭，誠惶誠恐，深感太極拳運動推廣責任之重大。本人將盡一己之力，結合國內外太極拳愛好人士，共同為太極拳的推廣活動盡心盡力。國際友邦多年來的交友聯誼因疫情關係而延宕多時，本會將在疫情狀況趨緩後，繼續辦理各種國際賽事，如世界盃以及各式各樣的交流活動。屆時還請惠予繼續支持參加。耑此，敬告各位會籍友邦團隊及個人，並祝福大家萬事如意，會務興隆。

Time flies, seasons change, and it is again the warm Spring with blooming

flowers. On March 2, 2022, I officially took office as the 14th chairman of the National Tai Chi Chuan Association of the Republic of China, and  the fifth chairman of the World Tai Chi Chuan Federation. Having a double burden on my shoulders, I accept this job with profound gratitude and great humility, and although I feel more empowered and a greater responsibility to the Tai Chi Chuan world than ever before. 

I will certainly do my best to work with Tai Chi Chuan lovers at home and abroad in order to further promote Tai Chi Chuan.  Unfortunately, many sporting events around the world, Tai Chi Chuan events included, have been canceled due to the coronavirus.  However, I deeply believe the pandemic will never  affect  our friendships and our determination to promote Tai Chi Chuan to the wider public.  After the pandemic situation has eased, the Federation will resume organizing various international events, such as the World Cup and the international exchange activities. As we move forward, we welcome your continued support and participating in our events. This is what I would like to tell all team members and individuals.  I wish you all the best and prosperity.

The World Tai Chi Federation (formerly The Int’l Tai-Chi Chuan Federation), was established in1980, in Taiwan, Republic of China. Shih Jwei acted as the first Chairman, and Hwang Shin-Shih, Ho Wei-zou, Siou Zu-ming, Wang Yen-nien took on  the duties of Vice Chairmen.

To promote Tai Chi Chuan activities around the world, the Federation held an International Tai Chi Chuan Competition Exhibition during the October 17 and 18th weekend in 1981 at the Gymnasium of National Taiwan Sport University. Participants were invited from the United States, the Great Britain, France, Holland, Australia, Sweden, Canada, Japan and Hong Kong; totaling 9 countries and 11 teams. Including the hosting team, there were 1,957 participants joining this event. After the competition, a Membership Convention of The Tai-Chi International Federation was held in  Communication Hotel, Pei Tao, Taipei. Mr.Long Qing Gang from Japan was voted in as the Vice Chairman and Mr.Wang Yen-nien was elected to the position of Acting Chairman.

Future Expectations 

There are two most important roles of Tai Chi Chuan in the 21st century.     1. Assist the World Health Organization in promoting the habit of exercise.   Help to bring personal health and welfare into each family. 2. Persuade the International Olympic Committee to recognize The World Tai Chi Chuan Federation as the official association of Tai Chi Chuan to help Tai Chi Chuan become a world-class sport.

Although Tai Chi Chuan is derived from the eastern culture, the aspects of health effects and theory on martial art in Tai Chi Chuan shows no difference with that of the western world. In recent years westerners have gradually picked up the essence of Tai Chi Chuan, and thus Tai Chi Chuan has become more popular around the world. As membership around the country increases, more efforts can be put on promoting Tai Chi Chuan as a professional sport in the world arena. Soon Tai Chi Chuan will be recognized as an official Olympic sport.

Conclusion

International social progress is generated by professionalization and the development of clear standards will bring Tai Chi Chuan into the main stream of the world sports. Tai Chi Chuan will be able to become a world-wide sport through sharing, exchanging and interacting with members of the World Tai Chi Chuan Federation. This effort will also contribute to the WHO's  goal of improving individual health and family welfare.
