To help the 53 neighborhoods of Tachia revive their glorious martial arts legacies, the Cultural Bureau of the Taichung County Government has invited martial arts groups from Taiwan and abroad for the Tachia Mazu Culture Festival 2003. The 53 village martial arts academies of Tachia, of course, were also in attendance, including the Yihu Troupe, which is the only group in Taiwan to perform a Tiger Dance instead of a Lion Dance.
為了再現大甲五十三庄武術之鄉的輝煌過去，這一次台中縣文化局特別籌辦《二○○三大甲媽祖國際觀光文化節》，廣邀海內外各大武術門派及大甲五十三庄武館，尤其是全台唯一「弄虎不弄獅」的大甲「藝虎團」，共同舉辦了多場武術表演。
