With the support of the Neighbourhood Small Grant (NSG), the Intermediate Tai Chi Kung Fu Fan Training Program successfully concluded on November 14, 2025, at the South Surrey Arts Centre. The event received strong attention from community leaders, whose presence added great encouragement and significance.
The program opened with three Kung Fu Fan performances, each showcasing unique style and charm.
The first routine, performed by 12 participants, featured synchronized, graceful movements and received enthusiastic applause.
The second routine, Sunset Beauty Kung Fu Fan, was especially inspiring. All performers were seniors aged 80 and above. Their energy, precision, and spirit highlighted the elegance of the fan movements and reflected their optimism and commitment to healthy living.
The third routine, the intermediate Power Fan Tai Chi, stood out with its creative choreography and balance of strength and softness, sparking great interest among the audience.To deepen audience understanding, instructors offered demonstrations and explanations between performances, covering basic movements, breathing techniques, and the cultural meaning behind Kung Fu Fan. This allowed participants to both enjoy the show and gain practical knowledge.
The event carried meaningful impact for the community. It strengthened neighbourhood connections, encouraged multicultural engagement, and brought together residents of different ages and backgrounds to appreciate traditional Chinese culture. For senior participants, the training also supported independence, physical fitness, and daily self-care skills, offering new ideas for healthy aging. Additionally, the activity promoted the concept of “fitness for wellness,” encouraging broader participation in physical exercise.
With NSG’s support, the Intermediate Tai Chi Kung Fu Fan event was a complete success. It enriched community cultural life and contributed positively to neighbourhood harmony and multicultural development. A simple lunch was provided afterward, giving residents a warm opportunity to connect.
We believe the Kung Fu Fan program will continue to grow within the community, bringing health, vitality, and joy to even more people.
