When the match started, his attention is focused on center of the venue. He said that it was so lucky for him being able to come to China personally and watching this kind of competitions. Seeing so many youth and children who love the traditional martial arts in China, he was deeply impressed. Through observing the participants’ imposing and vigorous Shaolin boxing, or smooth and elegant tai chi performance, I thought I could learn many things from the youngsters of China. The traditional Chinese martial arts, as the quintessence of Chinese culture, needs the efforts of the whole world to conserve and promote, Nittis said.
