do you know?
Shuttlecock drills have become popular overseas recently!
Recently, the Weibo topic #Chinese-style fitness is popular overseas# has been on the hot search list. In the related video, a group of foreigners incarnated as Liu Genghong boys and girls, and danced the shuttlecock to the "Compendium of Materia Medica".
Many netizens left a message saying: "This way let more people know that China is awesome!" "It's also a good thing to be able to exercise the world!" "It seems that everyone is Liu Genghong boys and girls, Chinese-style fitness YYDS" ...
In addition to shuttlecock exercises, traditional Chinese sports such as shuttlecock kicking, rubber band jumping, and Tai Chi have also gone abroad with short video platforms in recent years, allowing foreign netizens to enjoy themselves.
It is reported that on TikTok, the hashtag "shuttlecock" alone has more than 10 million views.
Many Chinese netizens also guide the movements online, such as: "When kicking the shuttlecock, the knees should be slightly bent, raised upwards, and the arch of the foot should be upward."
Another traditional Chinese fitness method, Tai Chi, has also gained a lot of fans overseas.
In the video shared by TikTok netizen taichimartial, accompanied by the melodious Zen music, the foreign grandparents stretched their expressions, understood every move in their chest, and cultivated their body and mind in a neat and tidy room.
Netizen nickofqi has become a "wild" Tai Chi propaganda ambassador. Whether you go to the forest, the mountains, or the seaside, you must do a set of Tai Chi first...
Rubber band jumping, a sport we played in childhood, is also very popular with foreigners overseas.
Some foreign friends even bought Chinese cloth shoes online in order to jump the rubber band, and some people created their own because they couldn't buy the rubber band...
From the initial "difficulty walking" to "spin jumping with my eyes closed" after diligent practice, many foreigners have become "rubber band jumping masters".
In addition to these traditional Chinese sports, there is another type of person who is also very respected overseas, that is, the Chinese uncles who are exercising in the park.
On TikTok, a video of a Chinese man exercising in a park has been viewed 2.7 million times.
They sometimes flipped up and down the single parallel bars, and sometimes stood upside down and sit-ups, and passersby were all shocked.
Some foreign netizens said: "Compared with these grandfathers, I only look like 60 years old at the age of 23" "This is the reason why they live so long"...
Of course, the Chinese uncles living overseas are also not convinced.
The father of Tiktok netizen Zara Liang, Liang Changxing, became popular overseas with his kung fu. He has more than 4 million followers on Tiktok, and the video likes nearly 30 million.
In the hands of this kung fu dad, knives, guns and sticks are all fitness equipment.
Bamboo sticks are like "golden hoop sticks", and kung fu balls are played to fly.
Some foreigners sighed: "This guy definitely has something to do with Jackie Chan!"
Chinese-style fitness has become popular overseas. It not only enables friends from all over the world to strengthen their fitness, but also allows them to feel the Chinese-style philosophy of doing things behind these fitness methods, and obtain dual cultivation of body and mind.
