The International Wushu Federation (IWUF) brought forward the launch of the Taiji Project so it can be used during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Taiji Project has been in development for several years and consists of 240 taiji videos, which will be published on WushuTV.

Top-level athletes, supervised by IWUF and Chinese Wushu Association experts, perform the content. 

The videos can be used by athletes for their routines, while coaches and judges can study the videos for technique. 

Amateurs are also able to use the videos to incorporate the content into their practice.


"While the Taiji Project has been in development for several years, the IWUF feels an urgency to begin publishing this video series in such a crucial moment," said IWUF.

"This is the first time in the IWUF’s history that we have produced such a large and ambitious project, and it illustrates IWUF’s deep commitment to promoting wushu as a powerful practice that can tangibly improve people’s lives everywhere. 

"Especially in this time of worldwide combat against the COVID-19 pandemic, IWUF wants to inspire and guide amateur and lifestyle practitioners, alongside competitive sport athletes, to improve their understanding and practice of taijiquan."
