National Qigong Association speech

Following up the Baltimore Wellness Walk, Tao Brothers spoke on Aug. 8 at the annual conference of the National Qigong Association, a gathering of some of the most experienced teachers and practitioners in the country.

“Where we differ from most teachers of Qigong is that we really stress racial harmony,” said Michael Clark.

“Tai Chi and Qigong transformed me,” said Accem Scott, “I was raised as a black Muslim. But now my very best friend, Michael, is white. My wife is Caucasian and I have a bi-racial daughter. This work has changed my life and now what we want to do is take that same kind of awareness to people of all colors.”

“We break all kinds of stereotypes,” said Michael, “The white guy is a rapper and the black guy is a doctor. We want to keep challenging people’s idea of race and to promote ways to heal our bodies and our communities.”

Michael performed his Tai Chi Rap at the conference. Scroll down the page to see the video.
