On March 18, 2016 the Chinese club and students gathered in the student union to hear the wise words of martial arts grandmaster Benny Meng. Master Meng began with a lecture on the basic philosophy of martial arts and its applications in daily life. The lecture focused not only on the physical aspects of martial arts, but the spiritual and moral foundations that are the guiding principles of Wushu (Kung Fu). Towards the end of the lecture and demonstration, the students were taught to break out of a hold and how to avoid dangerous situations involving someone with violent intentions. Master Meng’s demonstration was both practical and inspirational, and ultimately left each individual more knowledgeable concerning the basics of Chinese martial arts.
