Follow Chu Hong, a Chinese martial artist in training, as he practices his skills and competes in an archery tournament.

The year is 1030 CE. Chu Hong's best friend, Liang Gao, tells him that the local magistrate has been spotted holding a surprise archery competition in a nearby town and will arrive at their village soon. This is Hong’s chance to showcase his talents in martial arts— and secure some much-needed money for his family. Peter Lorge outlines a day in the life of a Chinese martial artist.

Lesson by Peter Lorge, directed by KERO Animation.
