On May 30 in Tangshan, Hebei, an elderly man skilled in martial arts was seen practicing by launching himself into a massive stone sphere suspended in mid-air. First, he set the stone ball swinging, then used his abdomen to strike it and bring it to a stop.

The man, named Zhang Yongcun, is in his 60s. He explained that he is practicing Dantian Gong, a martial art focused on strengthening the "dantian" — an area in the abdomen considered the body’s energy centre.

The stone ball he trains with weighs around 650 jin (approximately 715 pounds/324 kilograms).
