Wu Shu Woman

So, yesterday we made a weekend foray into the Tai Dong district, which is one of the most happening areas of our city, and the place that my sister, when she visited, said felt most like the China she had anticipated.

I took some photos and a video clip of this Wu Shu practitioner. The Chinese word wushu translates as military or martial arts. It is both an umbrella term for martial arts and a specific discipline of full contact.

Any guesses as to how old this woman is?
If you click on her photo you can see the detail in her traditional wu shu/qi gong jacket,
and her stylish gold earings.
Watch her in action and then post a guess in the "comments" section.
I'll post the answer in a few days.
