Chinese martial arts making an impact

BUCHAREST - A park became paradise for Chinese martial arts lovers on Saturday, with the eye-catching "World Wushu-Kung Fu Day" banner fluttering in the light breeze.

On the wide green lawn in King Mihai I Park, there were practitioners of both Yang-style and Chen-style tai chi, as well as those of Changquan, Nanquan, Shaolin and Wudang.

Young and middle-aged people made up the bulk of those taking part, but there were also many retired and elderly.
