It looks like a scene from a martial arts movie, but a video that has gone viral on social media is actually footage of a brawl breaking out at a Chinese shopping mall between a taekwondo school and a group of gym workers.

The original video shows the fight from several different angles filmed by stunned onlookers at a busy mall in Jiangsu province, north of Shanghai.

The taekwondo practitioners are seen giving a demonstration to promote their school, but were being too loud which reportedly led to noise complaints.

They are then confronted outside a shop by what appears to be a group of employees from a gym inside the same mall.

An argument breaks out before all hell breaks loose with fists and kicks thrown, as alarms inside the shop start going off.
