On 116 years ago today, July 17, 1909 (June 1, 1909 in the lunar calendar), Huo Yuanjia founded the Jingwu Gymnastics Club. Zhou Enlai and others took a group photo of all the arrested representatives when they were released. On July 17, 1909, martial arts master Huo Yuanjia founded the first folk martial arts group in modern China-the Jingwu Gymnastics Club in Shanghai. The purpose of the Jingwu Gymnastics Club is to promote martial arts, study sports, and create strong and determined people. In the late Qing Dynasty, when the country was declining, this was particularly in line with the trend of thought of practicing martial arts to strengthen the country and revitalize the country. Most of the people hosting the meeting were Cantonese business people. They followed Huo's instructions and gradually organized the Jingwu Gymnastics Club into a social education group,"martial arts are the foundation, martial arts are the conversion, supplemented by useful subjects and legitimate entertainment."
