Mao Nanhai, a 90-year-old martial arts teacher, has been studying Taiji for 16 years

Mao Nanhai, a native of Pingxiang, was born into a family of martial arts and attended Jiangxi Higher School of Traditional Chinese Medicine. When other 6-year-olds are in the arms of their parents, he has taken up the hands of the stick, by the influence of his father, from childhood on the martial arts has developed a strong interest. Over time his father, Mao Shoubai found that he has a natural interest in martial arts, decided to teach him a few moves to let him first practice, which know that the small Mao Nanhai but practiced in style, which impressed Mao Shoubai, decided to pass the life of learning to Mao Nanhai.

After a period of practice, Mao Nanhai's basic skills were already very solid. So his father taught him the Purple Wood Stick, Four Square Xingyi Fist, Yellow Dragon Fist, Willow Leaf Sword, and Taiji Song Gong. Mao Nanhai knew that martial arts training is not overnight, so he never slacked off in practicing the boxing skills taught by his father, and he repeated each move and each style to transform each other, and he was very moved by his father's obsession with martial arts and was determined to pass on his mastery to his family --- Mao's Taiji Boxing. --Mao's Taijiquan was taught to Mao Nanhai. Since Mao Nanhai already had the foundation of Taijiquan---Taijiquan Loose Kung Fu, he finally realized the whole set of Mao's Taijiquan after ten years of day-to-day practice, bearing in mind the essence of Taijiquan: "When the foot enters the actual door and he gets into the ground, even the divine hand is hard to prevent" and his father's teaching. After ten years of practice, I finally realized the essence of the whole set of Mao's Taijiquan.

When he was still in high school, Mao Nanhai opened a school to teach his ancestral taijiquan to the public, so that he could not only earn tuition fees for himself, but also contribute to the development of folk martial arts. Afterwards, his fame gradually spread, and he was even received by the county leaders. With the dream of spreading the idea of martial arts, Mao Nanhai walked into the university.

What he wanted to do with his life: let the world know the essence of taijiquan

After coming to Fuzhou to study, Mao Nanhai closed his martial arts school and put his mind on his chosen medical specialty. In his spare time, he often read books on martial arts, and after some thinking, Mao Nanhai made a decision to compile the "Mao's Taijiquan Genealogy", so that more people can understand the mystery of Taijiquan. After that, except for the time for classes, he devoted himself to the compilation of the manual. He has realized the motto of "cultivate virtue through martial arts, and practice martial arts with virtue".

Mao Nanhai, who is quite proficient in martial arts, hopes to "open three pavilions": a medical pavilion, a teahouse, and a martial arts pavilion, and hopes that more people can share the fun of taijiquan with him, and dedicate themselves to the inheritance and development of traditional martial arts.
