GANDHINAGAR: The wushu venue at the Mahatma Mandir campus in Gandhinagar gave an impression of a Chinese movie set, made in the 1980s. The over 15,000-sq ft hall is filled with oriental music, with some sharp contrasting images, much to the amusement of the uninitiated.
On the left there was sanda, where two participants were aggressively kicking, punching, and throwing each other off the ring, while on the right, there was taolu, in which a participant, wearing traditional Chinese martial art attire, moved to the music as if his life depended on the smoothness of his moves.
