"It's really different and amazing. I hope I can learn it," said Muhammad Mudassar Riaz from Pakistan while visiting a national intangible heritage base for mantis boxing during a trip to Yantai, Shandong province on Oct 28.
"Before coming here, I tried a different kind of kung fu in Beijing. But this one is really impressive."
Mantis boxing is a famous type of boxing that originated in Laiyang, a county-level city in Yantai, Shandong province.
It has a history of nearly 300 years and combines 18 types of boxing, embodying the strengths of many Chinese martial art schools.
