有感于【李文启武术学院】为加拿大夺得世界武术锦标赛铜牌

【上海消息/金宏编辑】2019年10月20日-23日,由国际武术联合会主办的第十五届世界武术锦标赛在中国上海举行。

世界武术锦标赛是世界最高水平的武术赛事,来自102个国家的1000多名运动员参加了这次锦标赛。

李嘉怡在本次锦标赛女子长拳比赛的视频

正在进行中的长拳是女子赛中争夺最激烈的项目,有40个运动员上场,加拿大两个選手的得分都达9.5,是一流的水平。只是高质素运动员多,都是堆在9.5x 和 9.6x 之间,夺取奖牌相当不易

看到加拿大国旗在世界顶级武术赛事上冉冉升起,笔者的眼泪禁不住……

虽然那只是一块小小的铜牌, 但它是我们华人移民的后代为加拿大夺得的,是我们华人移民为这个我们热爱的伟大国家做出的一份贡献!

如果说,加拿大冰球在国际上夺冠,那是张飞吃豆芽——小菜一碟

你知道吗?全球注册冰球运动员130万人,而加拿大一国就高达50多万!加拿大全国有冰球场馆3300座,超过全球其他所有国家的总和!

北美冰球职业联赛的产业规模更是达6000多亿美元。加国那些冰球明星哪个不是千万富翁?个个是“大拿”

再说说我所知道的李文启

他原是中国内蒙古武术队的教练,20多年前根据加中两国之间文化交流协定,被中方派来加拿大传授中华武术,4年工作任务完成后定居加拿大。

李文启从无到有白手起家创办了加拿大【李文启武术学院】,而最初的几年他是一边打工,一边教授武术的。
