On a sunny morning, a group of people were in front of Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest tower. The people were dressed in traditional Chinese martial arts (武术) clothes. With the sounds of peaceful music, they performed some Tai Chi movements (太极动作).

In recent years, weekly Tai Chi practice has become popular among local people in Dubai. Liu Huajin is the organizer of the event. He said that they began offering online Tai Chi classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lots of local people learned Tai Chi from them. After they started to offer offline (线下的) classes, more and more local people began joining to learn Qigong, Tai Chi, Tai Chi Sword, and Tai Chi Fan. Now, nearly 200 people from over 50 countries usually take part in these activities.

“Every weekend, we organize martial arts activities in South Ridge Park. The park is in the city centre in Dubai. There we show the beauty of Chinese martial arts and culture to people from all corners of the world,” said Liu.

Robert is a Tai Chi lover from the UK. He said that practicing Tai Chi has improved his health. “By learning Tai Chi, I have a deep understanding of Chinese culture. It also gave me a new understanding of myself,” he said.
