A young boy in China tragically lost his life just a day after starting martial arts classes. The 8-year-old, whose name has not been released, enrolled at the Chongde Juying Martial Arts Sports Club in Qingdao, Shandong province, hoping to learn self-defense. However, he sustained fatal injuries during training and passed away shortly after.

The boy's parents received a concerning video of his training session the following day. He appeared pale and bruised, raising alarm bells for his family. Disturbing videos circulating on social media show the boy collapsed on the floor, wearing a t-shirt with the club's name. A woman's voice can be heard saying that if he continues to collapse, his mother won't pick him up for a year. In another part of the video, a man tries to help the boy up while the child says his instructor kicked him.

According to reports from Chinese media, the boy's heart stopped beating 20 minutes before he reached the hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Authorities have taken swift action, arresting three individuals connected to the martial arts club, including the owners. They are facing criminal charges related to "intentional harm leading to death." The club has been shut down while the investigation continues.
