Capturing the world's imagination

Over 20 years of working with Tai Chi and Qigong enthusiasts and groups worldwide, government bodies, media, and public and private health institutions, World Tai Chi & Qigong Day has captured the world's imagination. Our vision of a clearer, calmer, healthier planet that is possible by spreading Tai Chi, Qigong, and Mind-Body practices into society at all levels, has been recognized worldwide. Harvard researchers initiated a series of tai chi as medicine lectures in recognition of World Tai Chi & Qigong Day (held annually in over 80 nations).

Bill Douglas

Bill Douglas is the founder and webmaster, content writer, video producer, and media director for World Tai Chi & Qigong Day. Bill studied Art and later Sociology at Kansas State University at Ft. Hays, until smitten by Angela Wong. Bill then moved to California with her. A good move, not just because he got to hang out with Angela for the next 30 years, but also because that was where he discovered Tai Chi & Qigong nearly 30 years ago. Bill served as a retirement funds, payroll, and human resources administrator for several international corporations, before a career in environmental, voting rights, and human rights organizing, until eventually Bill began teaching Tai Chi and Qigong. Then the idea of World Tai Chi & Qigong Day struck like a lightening bolt, and he's been almost a full time WTCQD organizer ever since, scrambling to keep up with the growth of this global health & healing phenomenon, which has captured the world's imagination. Bill and Angela are the co-founders of WTCQD.

Since then Angela learned the Guang Ping long form, the Mulan basic, Mulan Fan, and Mulan Sword styles, and has dabbled a bit with the Chen Style. Bill and Angela are co-founders of WTCQD.
