Tai Kwun Conversations is a series of talks that brings together brilliant minds to discuss the challenges and rewards in pursuing a sustainable future through the active management of heritage resources. Join us at this monthly event to discover outstanding practices in heritage conservation and strike up a conversation with our renowned guest speakers.


At the beginning of the 21st century, Classical Chinese and Italian martial arts have survived in very different ways. On the surface, Chinese martial arts are a vibrant, living culture, while the Italian tradition has been lost save for the records in historical martial arts treatises. In reality, the two have much more in common than meets the eye.

This instalment of Tai Kwun Conversations brings Prof. Ma Lianzhen and Mr. Roberto Gotti – respectively the leading figures in the revival of historical fighting arts in China and Italy – to discuss the common challenges and goals they face.

This talk is an exhibition programme for “Way of the Sword: Warrior Traditions in China and Italy".

The event will be conducted in English.
