Outdoor martial arts demonstration on a dusty ground beside thatched-roof huts and palm trees. Three young men in white uniforms: the one on the left wears a black belt and presses his palms together; the centre man in a white uniform with a black belt and the right man in a white t-shirt with a colourful logo and blue trousers are mid-strike, kicking and breaking stacked concrete blocks. Small flames and burning sticks lie near the blocks. A red mat lies in the foreground, a flag flies behind, and several onlookers in white shirts and an orange dhoti stand at the right.
