:: Evening Exercise
From so many activities available in my school, i think the most popular one is either wushu or tai chi. In this picture you see some women practising wushu using *i dont know if it's real or not* swords to spend their evening. A healthy choice indeed.
Wushu is a traditional Chinese Material Art originally created in People's republic of China after 1949. Wushu has been fancied by people around the world and has apparently become so attractive for many international students who study in China.
According to Wikipedia, contemporary wushu is both an exhibition and a full-contact sport derived from traditional Chinese martial arts. It is composed of two disciplines: taolu (forms) and sanda(sparring). Taolu forms are similar to and involve martial art patterns and maneuvers.
So, if someday you meet one of the ladies above, don't ever make a mess with her. hehe
