Performance Of Chinese Wrestling In Beijing

BEIJING, CHINA - FEBRUARY 28: Men perform Chinese wrestling on February 25, 2008 in Beijing, China. The Wrestling emerged around 2,000 years ago and was originally taught only to the military elite. Starting in the Qin Dynasty (221-206 B.C.), it was demonstrated in tournaments for the Imperial court. During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), China maintained a camp of 300 full time fighters who trained for competition with China's allies. Today, the wrestling is still taught primarily to the military and police in China. (Photo by Guang Niu/Getty Images)
