My name is Fan Kui, a young fellow. I was born in October, 1987, in Ximei village, Chengguan Town, Xiuwu County, Jiaozuo, Henan Province, being the descendant of the Chen’s Taiji Boxing. Now, I’m the nation-level director of Wushu; the first grade boxing coach of Henan Province; the deputy director of Xiuwu Taiji Institute; the main coach of Zhulaohu Gongfu Yuan in Wenxian; and the coach of Body-Building Club in Xinxiang.
I began to learn Wushu from my father at the age of seven. Greatly interested in Wushu, I was sent to Chenjiagou to learn Taiji Boxing from the masters. In 1997, I became a student of the master Chen Mengsong , the 11th generation of the Chen Family. In 2002, I became a student of the master Zhu Laohu, the 10th generation of Chen’s Boxing, whose Taiji Boxing skill originates from the Taiji master Wang Yan.
At the beginning, I knew little about the Boxing theory. My father , who likes Taiji very much and has a deep foundation in Boxing, taught me to learn Taiji Boxing in a special way. My father has much association with Taiji masters of Chenjiagou and has learned much about the spirit of Taiji Boxing from them, especially the master Zhu Laohu. Then, he taught me the skill. I am greatly grateful to my father for his teaching.
With the help of my father and under the careful guidance of my teachers, I practise Taiji Boxing extremely hard all the year round. During the past ten years, I have learned the first old style, the sencond old style, the 56-form competing style, and the Gongfu style, and also Single Sword, Double Sword, Single Broad-sword, Double Broad-sword, Long Spear, Spring &Autumn Broad-sword and so on, especially good at Taiji Tunshou and Taiji Sanshou.
In 2007, with the permission of my respected teacher, I practise Taiji Boxing at the institute run by the master Wang Xi-an. I gained great progress by practicing with the coaches of my age. With the guidance of Master Wang Xi-an, I won the competitionship in 80kg grade in the competition of Taiji Tunshou in Hongkong. In the same year, I took part in the selective competition of Taiji Boxing, “Wulin Dahui” held by CCTV in Ma anshan. Through the fiece competitions I was elected one of the sixteen strongest Taiji boxers in China.
