南非武术名家查飞葛今年8月已习武整整30年1。作为首位入选世界武术名人堂的南非人1，他通过数十年的坚持与创新，成为中国武术文化在南非及整个非洲大陆的重要传播者。
查飞葛与中国功夫的缘分始于2001年，当时他首次来华并访问少林寺1。经过多年实践，他于大约10年前在南非成立了精武会1，逐步建立起规模化的武术传播网络。目前，西开普省有130多名学生跟随他习练功夫，豪登省亦有30多名学生1。每年在开普敦举办的非洲青年精武功夫锦标赛已成为区域性赛事，吸引来自8个非洲国家的150多名运动员参赛1。
除了武术推广，查飞葛还积极拓展中医领域。他在2009年腿部受伤后开始学习中医，目前正攻读中医硕士学位1。面向未来，他计划将精武会推广到赞比亚、博茨瓦纳、津巴布韦、马拉维和莫桑比克等国1，进一步深化中国传统文化在非洲的影响力。
Zha Feige, a renowned South African martial arts master, has spent three decades cultivating Chinese kung fu in South Africa and across the African continent.1 As the first South African to be inducted into the World Martial Arts Hall of Fame,1 Zha has become a key figure in bridging Chinese and African cultures through the ancient art of martial training.
Zha's journey with kung fu began in August, marking 30 years of practice by this year.1 His connection to China deepened with his first visit to the country in 2001, where he also made his inaugural pilgrimage to the Shaolin Temple.1 Recognizing the transformative potential of martial arts training, Zha established the South African Jing Wu Association approximately a decade ago,1 which has since grown to serve over 130 students in the Western Cape province and more than 30 in the Gauteng province.1
The expansion of Chinese martial arts in South Africa has extended beyond individual instruction. Zha organizes the annual African Youth Jing Wu Kung Fu Championship in Cape Town, attracting more than 150 athletes from eight African nations.1 His commitment to holistic martial development was further deepened in 2009 when a leg injury prompted him to pursue traditional Chinese medicine; he is currently pursuing a master's degree in the field.1 Looking forward, Zha plans to extend the Jing Wu Association's reach into Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Mozambique,1 continuing his mission to promote Chinese martial culture as a vehicle for mutual understanding and cultural exchange across the African continent.
