In support to the government promotion of healthly life-style, the Singapore National Wushu Federation invited Taichi  Master Wang Nan from China to specially design a 18 -style Taichi Routine, suitable for all ages in 2001.

The 18-style Taichi Routine focus on building  the fundamental of stability for Taichi beginners. Every movement is designed in a way so as to allow beginners to get a feel of the body stability before proceeding to the next movement. Stability is one of the main requirements in Taichi and to do Taichi well, the fundamental in stability needs to be very strong.

This 18-Style Taichi Routine was later named as the Singapore Keep-Fit Taichi, which is Singapore very own Taichi. Taichi coaches from all over Singapre were invited to learn from Master Wang Nan on this Taichi Routine and upon completion, went back to teach their students.

To promote this Singapre Keep-Fit Taichi to all Singaporeans, a 1000 Mass Taichi Display was organised and held at Choa Chu Kang Sports Complex in 2001. This is also the 1st time such a grand display ever took place in Singapore.

Today, this 18-style Singapore Keep-Fit Taichi has become the 1st fundamental Taichi routine which all Taichi members have to learn when they 1st started learning Taichi. After mastering the art of this Taichi Routine, members will tend proceed to learning more advance Taichi Routines.

2004 was an eventful year for our team. Many of our team members participated in the National Wushu Competition for the 1st time. We also formed 2 teams to participate in both group Taichi Quan and group Taichi Weaponary. The 5 days long competition was being held in Jurong Sports Complex during the period of 18th-22nd August 04'.

Despite the fact that most of our team members were 1st timers for the National Wushu Competition, we were happy to say that the overall team results were satisfactory. The most joyous achievements came from the Group Weaponary Event, where our team got 1st for the 1st time participating in group event. It was also the 1st time in 20 years in our main Taichi Organisation under Master Choo Kian Siew  that we have gotten 1st.
