On May 24, the martial arts and boxing competition of the 2025 Shanghai Sunshine Sports League took place at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. SIT’s martial arts team participated in the event under the guidance of the delegation head Zhao Chunai and coaches Wu Di, Ding Minqiang and Song Yapei, where players won the first prize for the collective Kung Fu fan and the second prize for duo Kung Fu fan with their solid skills and perfect cooperation.
Players perfectly integrated the romantic charm of Kung Fu fan with strength through uniform movements and combination of inflexibility and yielding, as every fan waving and each step demonstrated their solid martial arts skills and deep understanding of the traditional martial arts culture.
Cheerleading team: third-time championship at the national competition is a testimony to youthful vitality in full blossom
