MACAO C.J. Beathard 49ers Jersey , Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- The 2017 Macao Wushu Master Challenge kicked off here on Thursday, attracting hundreds of Wushu masters from across the world to join in various Wushu competitions, and display Chinese martial arts and traditional lion dance.
Indeed, behind all of those hustle and bustle of shopping malls, casinos, hotels, and must-go tourists spots, the martial arts and lion dance are well-protected in China's Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR), with many Macao residents keeping on with their tradition of playing martial arts, for physical exercises, and learning about self-challenge and team work.
Each night, on the rooftop of a 14-floor building on the Rua Dos Pescadores Street, dozens of young players were practicing martial arts. They are apprentices of Loleong Sports Federation, which was established in 1938.
"Those young men have work to do during the daytime. They can only practice martial arts after work," said the director-general of Loleong Sports Federation, Pan Jingwen, whose father is a master of Choy Lay Fut, a form of traditional Chinese southern style boxing, popular in Macao and Hong Kong SARs, Guangdong and Fujian provinces.
"It contains a wide variety of techniques, including long and short range punches, kicks, sweeps, joint locks and grappling," Pan said, adding that Choy Lay Fut is an effective self-defense system, particularly for defense against multiple attackers.
Under the guidance of a master, a dozen of primary school students were doing "waist horse," the basis of learning any Wushu styles.
