French martial arts enthusiasts get a kick out of China experience
China DailyGUIYANG — With sunlight glinting on the leaves of trees and the running water in a brook at the world heritage site of Mount Fanjingshan, 62-year-old Yves Perrin sat beside the water wearing tai chi clothes, practicing traditional qigong breathing exercises. Between April 7 and 19, a group of 50 French martial arts enthusiasts visited Guizhou province to practice tai chi and qigong with their teacher Ke Wen, the founder of the Les Temps du Corps, an association that teaches energy techniques and Chinese culture in Paris. Anne-line Loygue Quellien, 39, learned tai chi from her father, a martial arts enthusiast who visited China to learn the technique and now runs a health center in northern France for massage rehabilitation therapy, as well as tai chi and qigong. With nearly 30 years spent studying wu qin xi and 20 years studying tai chi and qigong, Quellien has made promoting Chinese culture her career since 2010. Ke has taught tai chi and qigong in France for the past 30 years and has accompanied more than 12,000 French martial arts enthusiasts to China.
