The Taiji Fan course of Southampton Confucius Institute was successfully held

The ten-week "Tai Chi Fan" course, held by the Southampton Confucius Institute (CI), was ended in December 2021. This course is one of a series of Chinese martial arts courses held by CI's Dr. Huang Songjun, Professor of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering School of Southampton University and President of the Southampton Chinese Association, taught this course.

Taiji Fan is a unique style of martial arts fitness, combining Taiji with dance movements. It is both an ornamental and artistic fitness exercise. Considering the strong practical characteristics of martial arts, this course was taught offline. The course was well regarded by the students, and one of them – Sylvia – also sent a thank-you letter to CI, which spoke highly of this course.

The Tai Chi Fan course provides a good opportunity for teachers and students of University of Southampton to strengthen their health during the pandemic, as well as an opportunity for students who love Taichi to learn more about it and to build a platform to enhance cultural understanding and exchanges between China and the UK. Southampton CI will continue to hold other martial arts courses. Please stay tuned for more updates.
