In a moving part of the evening, certificates were awarded to students who advanced in their training, recognizing their dedication and progress. VIP guests were also honored for their support and contributions to the cultural exchange of Tai Chi in the UAE.

🌍 A Historic Year

This celebration came just weeks after the academy made international headlines as the first UAE-based Tai Chi team to win major awards at the Asia Taiji Competition, hosted by the Chinese Wushu Association. It was a moment of pride that was rightfully shared with everyone who helped make it possible.

“Tonight is not just a celebration of one year—it’s a celebration of tradition, connection, and everything we’ve built together.”
— Master Mo Dalong
