Photos from the recent Martial Arts exhibition in the Museum aan de Strom in Antwerp, the photos were taken by Chris Swan one of the club's students:
"... The local club is a Wushu Kung Fu club so I recognise that their style and weapons are quite different.
The computer showed the stance that you should copy, and then highlighted where an arm or leg was in the wrong place - I think we could use that!
The wooden dummy was mostly being used by kids, copying the video which was playing next to it. It looked slightly different to our version. There were punch bags next to it, hence the noise!
The Indian martial art was interesting as they believe that this is one of the oldest and has all of the spiritual elements seen in other martial arts. Only practised by men though.
There was an exhibition on women in martial arts, and an area to watch video clips from a huge range of martial arts films, or films that feature them, over the years. As this was in Belgium , of course Jean Claude van Damme featured in a few, as well as a lot of Bruce Lee, Donnie Yen, Michelle Yeoh etc..."
