The aim of the present study was to discuss the development of Diabolo skills in Taiwan. The discussion was divided into three major phases: the pioneering phase (before 1988), the developing phase (1988-2003) and the maturing phase (2003-present). This research was conducted using data analysis and field investigation to collect, proof, synthesize and analyze the data.
