In front of the Confucian Temple Square in Renmin Road, Suzhou, you can see an elderly but full of energy every day. I can only see him dancing with a dragon crescent moon blade. They are all masters. Around him are a group of young people and children who are practicing martial arts under his guidance. He is Zhang Ziyuan, a famous martial arts master in Suzhou. Mr. Zhang is 97 years old (born 19 17) and is from Suzhou. He has practiced martial arts for more than 80 years. He studied under Mr. You Jinqing, a famous martial arts master in Suzhou, and successively studied with famous martial arts masters and Mr. Jiang. He is proficient in martial arts.

Teacher Zhang is sincere and diligent, and is a good material for practicing martial arts. This is an evaluation of his masters. All three masters gave their chest skills to each other with confidence. It is said that Mr. Zhang Can is proficient in all kinds of weapons and martial arts. This is not true. Teacher Zhang learned a lot of instruments and boxing techniques because of the three great masters, and he also studied them with great concentration. He is good at boxing and fencing. When I was a child, I was entrusted by my teacher to teach art on behalf of my teacher. Many brothers and sisters respectfully call my brother a "master", which has laid a good foundation for him to teach for more than 70 years, accumulated experience and become a skilled martial arts coach.

Teacher Zhang began to accept apprentices in his twenties. He has many apprentices, including more than 3,000, who are just apprentices. "Worship for martial arts" is the first lesson of accepting apprentices. Teacher Zhang has taught martial arts for more than 70 years and has received free apprentices.

In 1950s, he won the first prize in the first National Wushu Games and officially became the head coach of the Wushu Team of Suzhou YMCA. 1958 as the coach of the Wushu Team of Suzhou Sports Commission; After 70 and 80, he served as the captain and head coach of Suzhou Workers' Wushu Team. His apprentice, as a Suzhou athlete, won gold medals in provincial and national Wushu competitions many times. According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly 100 gold medal winners and hundreds of gold medals.

Today, Mr. Zhang still carries a knife, a gun and a stick every day, regardless of the wind and rain, the scorching sun, insisting on teaching martial arts and being strong. Suti

Comments on Li Sen, Deputy Director of Group Research Center of Provincial Institute of Physical Education:

The promotion of Wushu to health has its inherent scientific basis. Mainly in the following four aspects:? Influence on cardiovascular system: Practicing boxing and equipment routines every day has obvious influence on the heart, and the heart rate can reach more than 180 beats/min. The cardiovascular system is gradually improved in the process of constantly receiving this huge stimulus. ? Influence on the sucking system: As a simple routine exercise, the sucking frequency can reach 365,438+0 ~ 34 times/min, and the lung ventilation can reach 20 ~ 29 liters/min. Therefore, practicing Wushu often will enhance the function of the sucking system. ? Influence on nervous system: When practicing martial arts, it is required to coordinate muscles in all parts of the body. At the same time, Wushu requires "to move quickly and keep calm", which are the functions of exercising the nervous system. ? Influence on muscle strength and joint flexibility: From the comparative materials of Wushu students and ordinary college students in Physical Education Institute, it can be seen that the back muscle strength (the standing time of goats) is better (about 19 ~ 77 seconds); Abdominal muscle strength (sit-ups) is also stronger (about 36 ~ 46 times more); And leg strength (vertical jump height) is also better.
