NTD’s 9th International Traditional Chinese Martial Arts Competition will be held at the Allen-Stevenson School in Manhattan, New York City, from Aug. 13 to Aug. 15. The competition is meant to revive traditional Chinese martial arts and display its true values to the world as part of a series of international cultural and arts events organized by NTD Television Network. Competitors include men, women, and juniors competing in the categories of Unarmed Hand and Weapons. Audience members can purchase tickets to attend the semifinals and finals. The finals will be livestreamed on NTD’s and The Epoch Times’ websites and social media channels. Traditional Chinese martial arts have been passed down for thousands of years, with an overarching emphasis on the “martial virtue” of the practitioner and the cultivation of moral character as the basis for development and progress, which has been lost in modern mixed martial arts.
