With years of training and practice, he can effortlessly execute stunts such as high kicks and perfect splits.
The septuagenarian can also do a wheel pose effortlessly, where one bends backwards until both their
hands touch the ground.
If that’s not already impressive enough, he can even do a perfect split on the ground —
a move that many of us might not even dare to attempt now.
At 52, he wanted to reduce his belly fat. Since he had a lot of spare time as a retiree and considered himself an active person, he decided to challenge himself.
He added that he wasn’t afraid of learning the moves back then despite his more advanced age.
Practised moves for 20 years
For the past two decades, Mr Su would practise the moves every day for two hours. He lost eight kilograms after just half a year of training.
His daily training consists of practising over 10 sets of difficult movements, including high kicks and splits.
Despite his jaw-dropping achievements, he modestly stated that it’s no big deal as he’s just doing what he loves.
And he definitely has no plans to stop or slow down — Mr Su added that he hopes to keep on training like this as he continues to age.
Practice makes perfect
As the saying goes, age is just a number. Mr Su proves that as long as we have a determined mindset, anything is possible — even if it’s doing a high kick and splits in your 70s.
Mr Su’s persistent efforts and courage can perhaps also encourage us to try out the things we once hesitated or didn’t dare to do.
We truly admire Mr Su’s positive mindset and hope that he can continue to enjoy practising his moves, just like what he wishes for. In the meantime, we’re off to do some stretching exercises of our own as well.
