Martial arts enthusiasts practise Mizong Boxing in Shanghai

(ECNS) -- A number of martial arts enthusiasts in Shanghai have joined the century-old Chin Woo Athletic Association in practising the traditional Mizong Boxing recently.

Mizong Boxing was created by martial arts master Huo Yuanjia in the early 20th century. The techniques of Mizong Boxing are powerful and vigorous, fast and consecutive, focusing on both attack and defense. While attacking, one must keep their body within a limited space, punch and spin the fist to release the maximum power.

The Chin Woo Athletic Association advocated the spirit of "patriotism, self-cultivation, justice, and helpfulness" when it was established, which remain the key tenets of martial arts today.
