There are more than 5,000 Tai Chi practitioners in Cuba, as well as a Cuban School of Wushu, located in Havana's Chinatown district, said the school's director, Roberto Vargas Li.
After the school was established in 1995, said Li, Tai Chi spread rapidly throughout the country.
Li said there are some 200 older Cubans who have reached a high level of Tai Chi mastery, and often act as instructors.
More than 70 countries were expected to take part in World Tai Chi day, according to the official Tai Chi website, with tens of thousands of participants.
