"Hey you - yeah you, old man in the background with the tai chi outfit; you're not following the other 299,999 people! Could you slow down please? You're supposed to drink green tea and meditate, not have 5 extra large Jackie Chan kung-fu coffee, and play Mortal Combat all night. Let's have some harmony here, please!"
Yes, I know, it says together, not necessarily in synch. Wouldn't it be cool though to have all these folks move as one giant wave of people? Talk about butterfly effect!
Story:
Imagine a mammoth crowd of 300,000 taijiquan practitioners, all exercising together against the backdrop of an ancient city, claimed to be the birthplace of the martial art's shadow boxing set pieces.
The breathtaking scene will be one of the highlights of the 2006 International Taijiquan Competition to be held in September, south of Beijing in Handan in Hebei Province
The festival is to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the simplified Yang school of Taijiquan, and also to mark the 70th anniversary of the death of master Yang Dengfu who started the Yang style.
