African students learn kung fu and Chinese in Tianjin

Last year, when Makina Eunice Agmes graduated in international law from university in Uganda, she realized she needed to learn more to get a satisfactory job in the field.

"There are so many law graduates in our country, which is why I felt I needed to learn something extra to stand out," Agmes, 22, tells China Daily in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin.

Since August, she and 18 other young Africans have been learning martial arts and Chinese at the Tianjin Huo Yuanjia Civil and Military School.
