World Tai Chi Day is 10.00am on Saturday.

It’s World Tai Chi Day this Saturday. So what’s it all about?

World Tai Chi & Qigong Day is held each year in over 80 nations on “the last Saturday of April” each year. April 25th, 2026 … at 10 am local time all over the world. It begins with mass Tai Chi, Chi Kung, and Mind Body events in the earliest time zones of New Zealand, and then spreads at the world turns, 10 am local time worldwide, ending with final events in Hawaii (USA).

To be honest, a lot of the websites I’ve found about it seem outdated and unloved. It doesn’t really feel like there’s much of an organisation behind it these days, however, you might like to practice at 10.00am on Saturday. There could be an event in your local area, so have a search.

Happy World Tai Chi and Qigong day (for yesterday)!

Yesterday was World Tai Chi and Qigong day (note the crazy mix of Wade-Giles and Pinying Romanisation going on there!)

So, I hope you celebrated the day by doing some sort of practice somewhere. I saw a couple of posts in my feed showing groups practicing Tai Chi in the park. Here’s one taken by Donald Kerr of Spinning Dragon Tao. Check out his YouTube channel.

Just a group of people getting together and peacefully practicing Tai Chi. Given the state of the world today, that’s no small thing.
