South China University of Technology hosted the Foreign
Teachers in the second of a series of three Chinese culture events designed to
support better understanding of Chines Culture.
The first was the Folk Music Festival we attended in December the second
was today at the Multifunctional Hall East Gymnasium. We were escorted this event “Explore More Traditional
Chinese Physical Culture” by student volunteers with directions to wear
comfortable clothes so we could participate in the cultural activity.
The Physical Education Department had prepared student
demonstrations in Tai Chi, Sunda and Chinese kickboxing. The students were well
prepared in their art and an English translator was provided to help us
understand the demonstrations. The last half
of this Cultural experience was designed to implement. We had a great opportunity to learn from the
experts. We tried Tai Chi without much difficulty
and it was very relaxing, however we did use muscles that I haven’t for a
while. As we were walking home I could
feel new muscle stretches, hope tomorrow is a pleasant day. We had one on one
instruction to use the fan as a weapon.
I couldn’t help but think about the weapons code for most school
districts in the US. I haven’t ever seen
fans listed as weapons, however after today I am sure they qualify as a weapon
with the right training.
