After graduating from Beijing Sports University, Ma Chunxi become a P.E. teacher in the Zhengzhou No. 11 High School. In 1978, when Henan Provincial Wushu Team was set up, Ma Chunxi became coach of the female team, then the whole team.

In 1998, at the invitation of the Wushu association of the Philippines, Ma Chunxi travelled to the southwest Asian country and became a coach for its Wushu team, which attended the 13th Asian Games held in Bangkok.

Her career took off again after her retirement. Influenced by her family, Ma Chunxi was good at formulating Wushu Routines, like the Chen-style Taiji Fan and Thirty-six Movements of Tai Chi Knife, which were widely popular online.

Seventy two years of experience in Wushu has made Ma quite famous in Wushu circles, but she still sticks to two rules: no charge, no discrimination between different students.

"Many people charge a lot, sometimes even 300,000 yuan, to teach Wushu, and some even divide students into different classes according to money they spend. I can't stand this," said Ma, who wants to keep the relationship between teacher and students pure.

"Students respect me, we are equal. I'm happy to be friends with my students, who sometimes bring homemade bread and cookies for me to taste," said Ma.

Apart from teaching, Ma Chunxi and her husband have also always taken friends to Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and other countries and regions to participate in Wushu competitions.
