British children learn Kungfu in Beijing

Chinanews, July 26 - "Students are used to seeing people climbing walls
and jumping over rooftops when in fact martial arts is a very practical
thing." Even before Hong Kong film director Tsui Hark's latest epic
"Seven Swords" hit the silver screen, a group of middle school students
from England has crossed the ocean and started to learn kungfu from
Chinese teachers. In order to get the "real thing", during yesterday
afternoon, these "foreign students" braved the heat and screamed and
yelled while practicing in the gymnasium of the Central University for
Nationalities.
"The originally scheduled forty minute lecture on the culture of China's
martial arts would be too much for them, so the lecture was abridged to
ten minutes." Reporter observed the following on site, flying kick, round
house kick, sword and spear play...the masters taught by example,
enabling the "abridged" version of the culture of martial arts to sink
into these children.
"In China I know about Bruce Lee." When Chinese kingfu was mentioned,
these blonde-hair and green-eye "small foreigners" are most familiar with
Bruce Lee. To enable them to know more Chinese "kungfu stars", reporter
used the rest period to give these children a lesson, and they seriously
posed the classic stance of martial artist Huang Feihong.
