Hong Kong new resident Tsang Hsien-kuen: “We, Cai Lifu, belong to Southern Boxing. We were popular in Guangdong, so the biggest difference between Southern Boxing and Northern Boxing is that Northern Boxing focuses on the legs and uses a lot of kicks and kicks, which are softer. Our Southern Boxing Boxing is mainly based on the hands, which is relatively strong, but there is also a bit of softness in the fierceness, which is a little different. “

He started competing in the Hong Kong martial arts competition at the age of 16 and repeatedly achieved good results after competing for more than ten years. In 2007, a boxing gym was established in Hong Kong, and in 2023, a branch was established in Fengshan, Kaohsiung.

Tsang Hsien-quan, a new resident of Hong Kong: “On the one hand, Cai Lifu has not been promoted in Taiwan. On the other hand, I have actually seen that there are not many people teaching this traditional Chinese martial art in Taiwan. Now many young people are learning MMA and Muay Thai.”

He once served as the president of National Taiwan University in Hong Kong and devoted a lot of effort to recruiting students for higher education in Taiwan.

Zeng Xianquan, a new resident in Hong Kong: “The most important promotion of Hong Kong students introduced that they have a channel for further studies that can come to Taiwan, so we have some enrollment teachers with Taiwan colleges and universities. Basically, we meet several times a year because we want to know the characteristics of each school and what preferential treatment they offer for admissions, so we will pass this information on to our Hong Kong students.”

This martial arts master from Xiangjiang has traveled across the ocean to inherit boxing techniques and is more closely connected with Taiwan’s higher education. He is committed to reviving the tradition and has made selfless contributions, reaching the highest level of martial arts.
