 全盲者與太極拳

Blind Individuals and Tai Chi

太極拳架與推手技藝，是視障者能夠跟正常人一樣，參與切磋的少數運動項目之一。

十餘年的視障教學經驗中發現，全盲者經濟狀況普遍不理想，無法長期負擔富康巴士或計程車的費用，只能勇敢的去搭乘大眾交通工具，但眼睛看不到，處處都需要別人幫忙，這往往帶給他們莫大的精神壓力。

對全盲者而言，能夠準時抵達上課地點，是一天中的小確幸，所以他們很珍惜練習的機會。

Blind Individuals and Tai Chi

Tai Chi forms and push hands techniques are among the few sports that allow visually impaired individuals to participate and spar alongside sighted individuals.

Through over a decade of teaching visually impaired students, it has been observed that many blind individuals face economic challenges, making it difficult for them to afford the costs of specialized transportation, such as paratransit buses or taxis. As a result, they bravely rely on public transportation, which can be quite challenging since they cannot see and often require assistance from others. This dependence can lead to significant mental stress for them.

For blind individuals, arriving punctually at their training location is a small but significant joy in their day, so they cherish the opportunity to practice.
