2025-08-06
In recent years, the CPC HUTB Committee has attached great importance to the construction of "Sports HUTB" and established the Chinese Martial Arts Club. The martial arts team members dedicated themselves to rigorous training during their spare time and winter and summer vacations, and prior to the competition, they went to Hunan's Dong'an, known as the "National Hometown of Martial Arts," for intensive training.
From July 27 to 31, the 2025 Chinese Collegiate Wushu Routine Championship was held in Wuqing District, Tianjin. As a top-tier event in the field of collegiate martial arts in China, this championship attracted over 2,000 athletes and coaches from 241 universities across the country, setting a new record in participation scale. At this grand gathering of martial arts elites from across the nation, our university's martial arts team ultimately achieved outstanding results: 1 gold, 1 silver, and 1 bronze medal, along with a sixth-place finish in the group category.
Our university's martial arts team, led by head coach Zhou Shengwen from the School of Sports and Health, selected 4 male and 4 female athletes to compete in the national competition. This marked the debut of our university's martial arts team at the Chinese Collegiate Wushu Routine Championship. During the preparation period, the team focused on the high-intensity and high-level competitive nature of the national tournament, making comprehensive improvements in technique refinement, physical training, and psychological adjustment, laying a solid foundation for breakthroughs in the competition.
During the five days of intense competition, our team members embodied the martial arts pursuit of "cultivating both inner and outer strength," interpreting the modern charm of traditional wushu. Yuan Cuiping won the championship in the Women's Group A sword event with precise coordination of "hands, eyes, body, techniques, and steps." He Yenan demonstrated the essence of Taijiquan, with its transitions between substantial and insubstantial and the balance of firmness and softness, earning the silver medal in the Men's Group A Taijiquan category. Fang Jie innovatively integrated double hook techniques with cultural imagery, blending power and agility in offensive and defensive transitions, to secure the bronze medal in the Men's Group A double hook event. In the Group A collective 32-form Taiji sword project, the team fought tirelessly, with sword formations moving like dragons and steps in unison, ultimately achieving sixth place through tacit coordination. Teacher Zhou Shengwen was awarded "Outstanding Coach," while students Liu Yuchen and Zhang Yang were named "Outstanding Athletes."
Returning with honors from the Tianjin competition, our university's martial arts team, with their triumphant debut, showcased the warrior spirit of "constantly striving for self-improvement and upholding virtue" to universities across the country. The team members, with their sweat and achievements, embodied the cultural confidence of "making friends through martial arts and establishing character through virtue," adding youthful energy to the inheritance and promotion of excellent traditional Chinese culture. This outstanding performance on the national stage fully demonstrated our students' spirit of fearing no hardship and striving with determination, effectively enhancing the university's social influence. In the future, the martial arts team will continue to use martial arts to sharpen their will, innovating through inheritance and growing through perseverance, to win more honors for the university and write even more brilliant chapters.
