China and martial arts?

I saw on tv scenes of a city in China that is dedicated to the study of martial arts. Hundreds, maybe thousands of people practice at the same time. It looks beautiful. Does anybody know the name of the city?

China and martial arts?
no, but search for it on google
Reply:The Documentary took place all across China.
Reply:I know, isn't it amazing and it does look beautiful but i'm afraid I don't know the name of the city though, sorry.
Reply:Don't know what you saw on TV, but the only city or town I know of where everyone practices the same martial art is Chen Village, the birthplace of Chen Tai Chi.
Reply:In every big city ( more than a million people) you can find people practicinge tai chi or some other martial arts in the hundreds. They usually do it on a huge city square. It is quite common in any city.
Reply:I think you were watching the Discovery Channel's "China Revealed" where hundreds of school children would study the martial arts. I cannot remember the name of that city, but you may be able to find it here:

Reply:No, but I really want to know.
Reply:LOL. There are dozens of places like you mentioned. There are many annual events where students from the same style of any kung fu gathers for tournaments and competitions.


Heck, even the Shaolin temple is commercialized to take any students including foreigners without having to convert to Buddism. See for your self.
Reply:There are lots of places like that in China!!!
Reply:If you are referring to Tai Chi, then it is common in almost all cities in China.


Some example cities are: Hong Kong and Guangzhou.
Reply:it depends on what specific martial arts.


Any park in any city during the morning will have a lot of people doing tai chi together


Shaolin monks teach gong fu (kung fu) to many.
