When people first see Zhao Jianying tutoring retirees and youngsters at parks, they often think she looks great for someone in her 60s. In fact, she is 84.
Her moves are slow, graceful and relaxed as she demonstrates Taiyi Wuxing Quan, a form of Wudang kungfu, but she also uses lightning hits to win mock fights against even young men.
"Thanks to Wudang kungfu that I have been practicing for over half a century, I am still strong and agile at this age," Zhao says.
