从亚琛到文登，德国姑娘的功夫之路 From Aachen to Wendeng: A German Girls Kung Fu Journey

清晨的圣经山上，34岁的德国姑娘Caro正专注演练螳螂拳。她从16岁起痴迷中国武术，曾在北京、河南等地习武，一年前Caro来到威海文登专攻螳螂拳。“这里清幽的道教氛围让我感觉很安心。”Caro说，她每天坚持练功，不久前刚在莱阳国际螳螂拳大赛中夺得二等奖。在Caro看来，武术不仅是技击，更是改变身心、让人自信的文化。“下一步，我计划在文登继续深造，日后回德国开设课程，把真正的中国功夫和背后的文化带回家乡。”Caro说。

On a quiet morning at Bible Mountain, Caro, a 34-year-old German woman, was intently practicing Mantis Boxing. She has been passionate about Chinese martial arts since the age of 16, having studied in Beijing, Henan, and other places. A year ago, Caro came to Wendeng in Weihai to specialize in Mantis Boxing. "The serene Taoist atmosphere here makes me feel at ease," Caro said. She practices diligently every day and recently won a second prize at the Laiyang International Mantis Boxing Competition. In Caro's view, martial arts are not just about combat but also a culture that transforms the body and mind and boosts self-confidence. "For my next step, I plan to continue my advanced studies in Wendeng and later return to Germany to offer courses, bringing authentic Chinese kung fu and the culture behind it back to my hometown," Caro said.
