China From Inside. (http://www.chinafrominside.com)

It says "Traditional Culture of China Without the Secrets."

I don't have time to look at it now so I thought I'd share.

yes, I thought it was a good website. probably find more commentary over on the internal forum as it seems to pertain mostly to xingyi.

but, cool stuff anyway some old pics and such

Definately more IMA orientated, Jarek being in China has access to some good info and research materials as well as excellent teachers and practicioners.

Really liked the article he did about my Chen style.

Cheers.

Cody & others.

His articles are well done.

Also have a look at his store section you might some some gems there, he got also non-IMA material there.

I just ordered the Chen Xiao Jia set of VCD's.

So far I have gotten quiet a bit of VCD & DVD's from a few sites that deal with Chinese released materials and I like them both in content and price.

Cheers.

I'm not sure of the photo you're talking about, but most people react like that when they see the famous picture of Fu Zhen Song holding the bagua dao over his head. The thing is almost as big as him. :D

it's the pic on the linked page. He's in maybe a mud stepping type of flank step with the left hand high in the 'secret sword' posture and a double edged straight sword low in his right. It IS as big as he is.

however, I was trying to look at the site about 30 minute ago and suddenly the page went to the 404 error. never had that happen WHILE I was looking at a site.

We crashed it. :D
