Martial Arts for Peace and Conflict Prevention
Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy, an international nonprofit organization, strives to foster love and peace through Qigong practice and martial arts. Chen emphasized their core belief that the highest form of martial arts is to advocate for peace and prevent conflicts.
“Back to the Origin” Matinee Performance
The matinee performance, titled “Back to the Origin,” delves into deep philosophical and historical themes. It aims to awaken the audience’s conscience and convey profound messages through a mesmerizing blend of music, dance, and martial arts.
“Cultural Performance Promoting Love, Peace, and Conscience” Evening Show
In the evening, the “Cultural Performance Promoting Love, Peace, and Conscience” will incorporate ancient cultural elements and the wisdom of Yin and Yang philosophy to spread positivity and balance among the audience.
Global Collaboration and Cultural Exchange
Over 600 volunteers from around the world, deeply committed to the cause and self-funded, will participate in the event, showcasing the power of heart-to-heart communication through their performances.

Incorporating Modern Twists
