与此同时，国际医药大学还以其在太极和气功领域的声名远扬。正所谓“武医同源”，太极作为中华武术的瑰宝，不仅是一种出色的强身健体运动，更被视为一门疗愈身心健康的艺术。在国际医药大学，太极和气功的教学和实践成为了学生全面培养的一部分，帮助他们在紧张的学习生活中保持平衡和健康。

开幕式当天举行的太极内家拳锦标赛，是华体会重头戏之一，突出太极文化是今年华体会一大特色，从田径广场开幕式上百人24式太极拳表演，到体育馆内太极名家表演，太极推手表演、太极防身技巧对练和太极內家拳錦标赛.  处处显示了中华武术文化的博大精深。体育馆内的名师表演精彩纷呈，方国旋老师的孙式太极拳，唐伟英老师的長苗刀，郑一凡老师的陈式太极剑，李建莉老师的陈式综合太极拳套路，Peter  Tram的白眉 镇山耙，Francis Tram 的白眉虎頭双鉤，迟绍和老师与李枚老师的太极定步活步推手与活步大捋，各显神通，赢得大众喝彩，太极锦标赛总共有100人次参加、30个太极项目，其中共产生三个全能总冠军，分别由美禧卓安、邓向阳、林金姿获得，美禧卓安的杨式太极刀，腾挪闪扬、刀法威猛；邓向阳挥舞着陈氏太极春秋大刀，窜蹦跳跃、劈砍抹推，非常到位。

华体会广场百人表演太极与太极锦标赛，由华体会副执行長兼太极处处長以及国际医药大学太极学院院长林元闿担任总指挥，共有旧金山湾区十个太极隊联合表演24式太极拳，由屡获各项武术太极大赛冠軍的美禧卓安在百人阵前带领表演。全场队伍整齐划一，井然有序，动作舒缓，充分体现了贵柔、贵和、贵化的太极精神。

旅美书法艺术家王跃进，别名“一笔王”，获奖无数，曾一笔书写5200个连笔空心字创世界基尼斯纪录，还曾剪下3180个雪花剪纸图案再创“世界纪录协会”的世界纪录。他当场挥毫「华体太极圆满成功」！

国际医药大学特别参加了太极内家拳锦标赛，其中的太极防身技巧对练展示了太极的应用性，把太极的招式运用到武术、防身、擒拿，以柔克刚，四两拨千斤，突破了大家对太极的传统认识，让观众叹为观止，改技法展示也荣获金牌。国际医药大学参赛的选手们也获得了大大小小个人和团体太极比赛的奖牌。

通过此次参加华体会分列队出行活动和太极拳锦标赛，国际医药大学再次向世人展示了其对中医和中华文化的高度重视。他们的努力不仅是为了培养优秀的医疗人才，更是为了传递中医智慧，弘扬中华文化的使命。国际医药大学将继续致力于中医事业的发展，为全球健康事业做出更大的贡献！
