Chao‑Li Chi shadow‑boxes indoors before moving outside to practice with a sword. In a single continuous take the film presents three stages of traditional Chinese martial arts—Wu‑Tang, Shao‑Lin, and Shao‑Lin with sword. A fluid, ballet‑like Wu‑Tang sequence shifts to erratic Shao‑Lin, then abruptly to soaring sword leaps, ending with a long freeze‑frame at the leap’s apex.
