A revealing look at the rigorous physical training endured by young Chinese acrobatic students.

Nice documentary. Thanks for the link.

When training becomes such a pain, how to enjoy it? We are so lucky that we can choose what we want to do - train for pleasure.

Not meant to be enjoyed I guess, unless you're really hardcore. Meant to get medals, win competitions and bring glory to the motherland.

i feel sorry for the kids who dun make it to the big stage

different culture and environment.

it's a way out for many who come from poverty.

sacrifices have to be made to achieve excellence and become the best.

with such training and lifestyle, they are sure to become very tough and develop strong mentality. versus the soft spoilt youngsters nowadays.

I like the last artistic floor routine.

One arm planche to handstand blew me away, extremely technical and physically challenging.
