Organization
World Taiji Science Federation (WTSF)
The World Taiji Science Association (WTSF) is a non-profit organization registered under the U.S. Government and is composed of institutions of American, European and Chinese universities, scientific research institutions and health and wellness associations, as well as international medical health experts, researchers and professors. Its predecessor was the National Tai Chi Wellness Foundation established in 2008. It has participated in a number of Taiji health studies, held many international Taiji and Health Qigong forums, and established a “Medical Tai Chi” course at Stanford University. For many consecutive years, it has hosted official U.S. Taiji events such as the US National Taiji Team Trials, the U.S. National Taiji Judge Training Course, and the U.S. National Taiji-kungfu Championships. In 2019, it successfully hosted the Pan-American Wushu Championships, a large-scale intercontinental taiji-kungfu tournament. The association is committed to taking “Journal of Taiji Science” research as its lead; using “Journal of Taiji Science” academic journals as a platform; using scientific experiment data analysis to support medical Taiji prescriptions, formulating medical Taiji standards, certification programs, and education curriculums. With the assistance of scientific research international exchanges, forums, and festivals, it promotes Taiji science, culture and wellness on a global scale.
