will u at least put into consideration if I show video performance of chen style practical wombat method, this is very serious matter if I reveal the art to outsider

I can get disciple to film me on friday

[GeneChing]

That being said, I'm sure everyone here would love to see your vids. ;)

airplane and hotel together is like 600 bro and i dont have friends or family ther. but i trying to diversfy my resume and sh1t. and i thot getting spoonsor by u would be prestigurs and give me face

[GeneChing]

If your vids are strong, maybe someone else will sponsor you. :)

Those vids will just enable fakers to start McWombat schools.

[wiz cool c]

It must take a lot of hard work to put on an event like this, you can ***** and moan about how it is prostituting the art, but yet those complainers are here engaging in martial arts social media. So it seems they are not actually against the promotion of the arts to the public[as society is supposed to work] but are simply not capable of making a difference themselves so they Turn to the dark side{JEALOUSY}.

[GeneChing]

It's a big production that costs both a lot of time and a lot of money. Just like many schools pay their rent by offering daycare services, we offer all sorts of divisions as long as there are competitors. First-timers. It's one of those everyone-gets-a-trophy that angers conservatives so much (at least that's what I read on sitonmyfacebook). We actually poached the concept of first-timers off Open Karate tournaments. Personally, I've never been that into the idea of first timer divisions. I agree with the conservative stance that its not really a competition if everyone gets a trophy. I'm a former NCAA athlete; I'm of the philosophy that people who compete must lose. But I know the financials behind first-timers and cannot deny that, so I've endeavored to set it up so it's clear that first-timers aren't really competitors. We do provide for some high level competition, but the apex of the pyramid sits on a wide base. We'd offer a wombat division if there were enough entries. Somebody's gotta pay the bills. Heck, bawang doesn't even have the scratch to pay his own way. He's not the only one. As the song goes 'Ain't nowhere till you can pay your own way back'. ;)

I was just joking with Bawang about his real deal Wombat Combat, not complaining.

Bawang can take it. He's ok.

Chinese Companies Return to Cannes – But Will They Bring Their Checkbooks? (http://www.thewrap.com/china-cannes-market-film-dalian-wanda-return/)
CannesWrap magazine: A flat Chinese box office and investment restrictions could loom over Cannes, but the sale of rights to individual movies may not be affected much
Matt Pressberg | May 16, 2017 @ 3:56 PM

https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/CHINA_Split.jpg

This story first appeared in the Cannes issue of TheWrap Magazine.

Tinseltown has a long tradition of extracting healthy sums of money from flashy foreign financiers who can’t stay away from the world’s most glamorous industry. Most recently, much of that cash has come from China. But after a two-year run in which seemingly every major and minor studio inked a coproduction deal with Chinese financial partners and Chinese companies agreed to a series of increasingly eye-popping acquisitions, including Dalian Wanda Group’s $3.5 billion purchase of Legendary Entertainment in 2016, the firehose of Middle Kingdom funding abruptly dried up.

The Chinese government’s State Council instituted strict capital controls limiting Chinese investment in overseas companies; along with other tightened regulations, the restrictions killed off several major cross-border deals, including Dalian Wanda Group’s planned $1 billion acquisition of Dick Clark Productions.

Furthermore, a combination of a disappointing slate of Chinese films and the reduction of generous online-ticketing subsidies left the country’s box office essentially flat last year after surging nearly 50 percent in 2015. All of that could loom over Cannes, where plenty of heavy hitters on the harbor’s mega-yachts are likely to be talking about what’s happening in waters much further east.

However, even though Chinese acquisitions have ground to a halt, sales of rights to individual movies shouldn’t be affected much, Schuyler Moore, a partner at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan who has worked on numerous deals involving Chinese film companies, told TheWrap. “They’re still able to do presales of content,” Moore said. “I don’t expect it to be a change as far as purchase of content for Chinese distributors.”

But those distributors might have a tougher time getting deals done — or, at least, done with terms as favorable as they’ve obtained in recent years — according to John Burke, a partner at Akin Gump who leads the firm’s entertainment group. “I can imagine that the restrictions might disadvantage Chinese distributors looking to buy Chinese rights,” Burke told TheWrap. “If you’re a seller, you’re going to be concerned with their ability to access U.S. dollars to make payments.”

Burke said that individual film deals aren’t subject to the same restrictions, because they are investments in projects rather than companies. But the fact that cross-border China-Hollywood deals haven’t been consummated in months could force Chinese buyers into less favorable terms as they try to acquire movies from sellers that may not be convinced about their ability to deliver on the deal. “To protect against uncertainty, sellers may require [Chinese buyers] to pay up front or back it up with a letter of credit payable when the picture gets delivered,” Burke said.

Kylin Pictures, a China-based firm that was a co-financier on Mel Gibson’s “Hacksaw Ridge,” is going to Cannes as a seller this year. The production company is looking to sell international rights to action-adventure fantasy “The King’s Daughter” through its international distribution partner Good Universe, Kylin CEO Leo Shi Young told TheWrap.

While Young will be on the other side of the table, he said he expects there will still be plenty of Chinese buyers heading to Cannes looking for good films to buy to help feed the country’s constantly expanding appetite for movies, as it continues to build movie theaters by the dozen.

And just as Amazon and Netflix have changed the landscape at Sundance, China’s burgeoning streaming services, including Baidu’s iQiyi and Alibaba’s Youku Tudou, could also step up their dealmaking. They have the added advantage of less regulatory scrutiny than theatrical releases, which must be cleared by the country’s strict censors, who often require substantial edits. “Online they also have a lot of markets, so they can sell to those,” Young said. “For those channels, the regulations or censorship will probably be easier and looser.”

China’s regulators protect local fare through a quota system and blackout period, but Chinese films still haven’t really registered beyond the country’s borders, even though some of them have reeled in hundreds of millions of dollars at home. But for the second year in a row, no Chinese films were announced as part of the festival’s official selection. However, there is a second annual China Co-Production Day, Bridging the Dragon, which will take place May 19 as part of the Cannes film market, the Marché du Film, which runs concurrent with the film festival.

And the country’s moviegoing audience isn’t satisfied with a homegrown diet alone, Young said, which is why distributors come to Cannes looking to buy. “The Chinese film market is expanding a lot — they need content,” he said. “They need good films.” At the beginning of last year, it seemed like only a matter of time until deep-pocketed Chinese buyers dominated the film industry. But it wouldn’t be Hollywood without a twist. How will it play out at Cannes? Stay tuned. “Last year, as crowded as it was, it seemed like the Chinese were overrunning Cannes,” Burke said. “It will be interesting to see if that changes when we get there this year.”

Daniel Wu Breaks The Bamboo Ceiling (https://augustman.com/my/Pop-Culture/Film-TV/Daniel-Wu-Breaks-The-Bamboo-Ceiling)
KC YAP | MAY 11, 2017

It’s five minutes to eight in the morning and I’m sitting in the conference room at the office, waiting for the phone to ring. Just the night before, I had binged on dozens of YouTube clips until my eyebags had their own eyebags. But it was all for work, of course. I was getting up to speed on Daniel Wu’s latest project, a martial arts television series called Into the Badlands. It’s visceral, bloody and very much in your face, so I don’t imagine it’s going to be aired in (currently on AXN) without first getting its guts and heart ripped out by our country’s rather zealous censorship board, but it makes for interesting viewing.

The phone rings exactly at 8am. Surprising punctuality from a star, I muse while picking it up. Daniel Wu is on the other end of the line. He’s back home in Oakland, residence of the Golden State Warriors basketball team of which Wu is a massive fan. We exchange pleasantries. He seems fresh, even happy to be talking to me. I look at my list of questions and scratch out the one about Steph Curry and gang failing spectacularly at the 2016 NBA Finals. I couldn’t bear to do it to Wu.

“Why are you back home?” I ask instead.

“Oh, just in the middle of doing all the press interviews for Into the Badlands. I’m heading off in about a week to finish the filming of Tomb Raider. We have about a month more of filming to go for that.”

Wu is experiencing an acting Renaissance of sorts in Hollywood. Besides Tomb Raider, which is expected to be out in 2018, Wu also has a small but critical role in Geostorm, playing a scientist who discovers the reason why the satellites are destroying Earth. “That film is interesting because I’m playing a character that is totally different from anything that most people know me for."

“I am a nerdy guy, not the one kicking ass,” Wu laughs.

THE MOST HARDWORKING MAN IN HOLLYWOOD

“Kicking ass” is what Wu has been doing for close to two decades. He’s starred in over 60 films, two television series and multiple commercials. That’s a lot of work. But he admits that, as he grows older, the way he selects projects has changed as well.

“In the past I used to be more ambitious about wanting to choose award-winning roles. But I slowly realised that as an actor, you’re very passive to the whole process. You cannot control what happens in the end. A lot of times, you put a lot of hopes and dreams into one project and it doesn’t turn out the way you think it would. It’s disheartening,” the 43-year-old shares.

Now, the American-Chinese actor chooses to fit the filming schedule around his family’s needs. The project must be extremely compelling for him to want to do it. For Tomb Raider, it was because he wanted to work alongside Alicia Vikander. “I fell in love with her in Ex Machina. I thought she was great and I was telling myself that I really want to work with this girl.”

Into the Badlands was another kind of opportunity. Wu saw a chance to fill a void on the small screen. He wanted to translate the big-budget fighting sequences you typically saw in cinemas into the medium of television. There are two reasons why no one has done it. One was the money. Secondly, the tight filming schedule typical of a television series meant that fight choreography had to be short and snappy.

Wu’s solution was simple and solved both problems―bring in his own team from Hong Kong, who is used to working on a smaller budget and on a short timeline.

The show’s first season was a great hit. Viewers loved the action. What Wu didn’t anticipate were the huge cultural waves the show made. There was the fact that an Asian male, Wu himself, was the lead. More importantly, Wu had a legitimate romantic interest. And even made out with her.

THE RISE OF THE ASIAN MALE

It is startlingly rare for an Asian character to be seen romancing another character in the American entertainment universe. The New York Times op-ed, funnyman Aziz Ansari could only come up with two instances that an Asian man kissed someone in television and film―Steven Yuen in The Walking Dead and Daniel Dae Kim in Lost.

“For many years, the Asian male has been emasculated in American culture. Roles like mine help to change that. When the show came out, we had support from all over America―black Americans, Asian Americans, even Hispanic Americans. I was proud of it, especially since the last time you saw an Asian man and a black woman on television together was in Romeo Must Die with Jet Li and the late Aaliyah. But they only hugged in the end, and that was it,” says Wu, laughing.

“Daniel Dae Kim once told me the true test of whether Asians have made it in Hollywood is when an Asian is the lead actor in a successful rom-com,” I put forward. The reasoning behind this is simple. If the film is financially successful, it means that the audience is comfortable and willing to pay to watch an Asian protagonist win the heart of his female co-star.

“Absolutely,” Wu agrees. I can practically see him nodding his head somewhere in Oakland. “It’s a role most people don’t think of for an Asian male simply because it’s not in the American psyche. As the audience, we must create that demand because honestly, Hollywood just goes where the money is. And right now, the Asian American audience is very vocal.”

He pauses.

“Truthfully, they might be a bit too vocal, a little over the top,” he says, half-jokingly. “I think cultural appropriation is a bullsh*t thing to call out because it’s like saying that only Asians can do martial arts or only black people can play basketball and rap.”

Wu proposes that diversity in entertainment is inevitable as the world becomes more globalised, and it makes sense. The older head honchos are handing over the reins to a younger generation who grew up in more diverse environments. These are people who have travelled, interacted with different people and realised that the world isn’t just shades of white.

ACTOR, ARCHITECT, ASIAN DAD

Wu and I have been chatting for close to 30 minutes now, talking at length about Hollywood and its foibles, his preference for the Hong Kong film industry and the reasons behind it, his disdain for generic superhero films, and even his love for design.

For the record, Wu studied architecture for five years―he graduated in the top 10% of his class―before becoming a thespian. He still loves the world of design and was devastated when Zaha Hadid passed away. But he remains private about his creative side for one reason: Kanye West.

“I could be a multi-hyphenate but I don’t want to because people have associated that with Kanye West. He’s ruined it for everybody,” Wu says, laughing boisterously. “Sure, he does some cool things design-wise but he’s not a genius. He’s no Marc Newson.” A beat.

“Or even Marc Jacobs.” Chuckles.

But what I really want to know about is how he is like with his family behind closed doors. We generally put celebrities like Wu on pedestals and hold them to a higher standard, as though they are impervious to any of life’s curveballs.

Wu, I find, is not much unlike you and I. He has his insecurities. He peppers his speech with curse words. He is trying hard to cut sugar out of his diet but loves iced lemon tea too much. He hates plain water. He works out four days a week. And he wants to be the best possible father he can be to his four-year-old daughter, Raven.

“I’m beginning to be like my own father. The stuff I hated hearing from my dad, I’m now saying to Raven,” Wu says. “There are many aspects of my upbringing that made me who I am today so I am trying to transfer that to my daughter. You should be physically and mentally present. I don’t want to be that dad at the playground looking at crap on his phone while his daughter is playing. I see those fathers all the time.”

Wu tells me about an episode in Malaysia. He was at the mall with Raven and his wife Lisa S when he saw a family of four―mother, father and two kids―at a restaurant. The dishes were on the table. But only the father was eating. The remaining three were on their phones, “God knows doing what”. There was no conversation, only the swish of thumbs on digital keypads and the occasional clanking of the father’s fork against his plate.

He nudged Lisa and pointed at the family. “I told her, ‘We will never end up like that family.’ We make a conscious effort to engage and be with each other.”

That includes limiting the amount of screen time Raven is exposed to. Wu only occasionally takes the iPad out of cold storage for Raven on long-haul flights or as a reward. “I think the iPad is an easy way out. The problem is that parenting now seems to be about shoving something in front of a child’s face to entertain them or keep them busy. Kids should be playing outside to foster their creative minds instead of staying indoors and staring at a screen all the time.”

THE FIRST CHINESE AMERICAN PRESIDENT

And then we veer off on another tangent, this time about Wu’s mother. I suppose that’s how a creative mind works, in zigs and zags, with no purpose in sight, merely the pleasure the journey afforded.

Apparently, the late Madam Wu was slightly sad that Raven was born in Hong Kong instead of the US. “She thought that meant Raven couldn’t be the president of the United States until she found out that that you’re still an American citizen even if you were born overseas as long as you have an American parent.”

It was a long-running joke that started with Wu, the first member of the clan to be born on American soil. His mum used to tell him that he could be the first Chinese president of the United States and for the first decade of his life, he thought he could.

Now, he would never wish the crown upon his daughter’s head. “Look at Barack Obama. Do you remember how he looked like before he became the most powerful man on Earth? His whole head is grey now. Nobody in that position ever has a good time,” Wu laughs.

It’s hard to imagine but Obama is only a decade older than Wu. Perhaps it’s the Asian genes or perhaps it’s his disdain for taking on the presidential role, but Wu looks no different than when he first started out in 1998 in the film Bishonen after being casted on the strength of a clothing advertisement.

Sure, the eyes have gained the thousand-yard stare one acquires from experience and the hairline might have crept up a little higher but those dreamy eyes and strong jawline from his youth are still there.

And the hair remains as black as ever.

Plum Attends Its First Tournament (https://www.plumpub.com/kaimen/2017/tourney/)

https://i0.wp.com/www.plumpub.com/kaimen/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/tourney5.jpg

Well, we had a great weekend at the first tournament/demonstration we’ve attended in years (and our FIRST as PLUM representatives).

https://i0.wp.com/www.plumpub.com/kaimen/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/tourney9.jpg

Friday started with a nice spread in the patio of the gorgeous and refurbished California Theater in downtown San Jose. The place was a-buzz with so many well-known teachers, such as Lily Lau, David Chin, Chan Pui, Mimi Chan, Yang Jwing Ming, and John Leong, to name only a few. Following the get-together, we all filed to our seats to watch the Grandmasters Live demonstration, starting off with many representative forms of Tai Chi, not to mention intriguing new mixtures such as Tai Chi Bagua. The Northern and Southern section of the program was particularly energetic, with the exhibitions of Hung Gar and Jow Gar being far-too-short measured by the excitement of the audience. A Wah Lum routine performed by Chan Pui (who, we understood, had come out of retirement to do this) was enthusiastically received.

We set up our Plum table on Saturday and, unlike our regular interactions with customers over the internet, we actually got to see each person face to face. Over and over again people passed the table, turned around, back-tracked, then came to our table to squint at us. A few seconds would pass and then they would say “Plumpub!” It was a great experience because, frankly, I wonder, occasionally, if we are just yelling in the forest. The number of people and the friendliness we felt really recharged our battery. There are not that many times in life where you can feel immediate kinship and talk to a friend you didn’t know you had before. And all this is not to even mention some of the great conversations we had with teachers such as Benny Meng, Don Hamby, Willy Pang, Peter Pena and other sifus about their schools and styles. (We might also have some great new books and DVDs to offer, rooted in these chats.)

On Sunday we met even more teachers and readers. It all reinforced not only a recognition that Plum is doing something in the martial community, but also that there still IS a strong community. The masters demonstration closing the 3 day event showed as high a level of quality as you might see in Taiwan or Mainland China, plus a youthful burst coming from the talent of the next generation.

There is much for us to process from this little excursion, and we are grateful to those of you who came up and said “hello” to us. The state of the traditional arts appears to be fragile, swinging (like the 300 pounds of weight from the “iron crotch” demonstrator) between past and future. We often despair that these arts are disappearing like the rainforest, but weekends like this one, filled with exuberant performance and curiosity, make us feel a little more hopeful when traditional teachers and a new generation of practitioners exchange ideas and touch hands.

Hello Gene, I`m looking up the history of Bak Mei and Hakka arts online and found this in my sifu`s bio.


MASTER WILKIE WU
In the early 1980s, Wilkie was honoured to be invited as a coach to teach the Dragon Sign Athletic Association of North America where he helped train many students. In 1984, he was selected as one of the members of the Canadian National Wushu Team to represent Canada. participating at the 1985 World Wushu Invitational Competition in China.

lol, I wondered if there is an old Laserdisk of the 1985 World Wushu Invitational in China in an old dusty warehouse somewhere..then I thought of you:cool:

Where would I even begin to look for a copy of this event specifically the Bak Mei portion of the VHS tape? .

Congratulations to Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine and International Wushu Sanshou Dao Association! (http://violetlitaichi.com/congratulations-to-kung-fu-tai-chi-magazine-and-international-wushu-sanshou-dao-association/)
Posted on June 13, 2017 by violet.li@tadi.com
In late May, there was a three-day grand festival in San Jose, California, with more than 3,500 martial arts masters and enthusiasts from the United States, Canada, China, and several European countries. Famous movie actors Daniel Wu, Robin Leong, and Chiu Chi Ling were also present to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine (the KFTC Magazine) and 30 years of the International Wushu Sanshou Dao Association (IWSD). The festival consisted of “Grandmasters Live”, competitions, “Kung Fu Tai Chi Day”, festival awards banquet, and lectures.

Founded in 1992, the KFTC Magazine is the world’s largest English martial arts magazine. Gigi Oh was the publisher until 2015 when the Chief Editor Gene Ching took the helm of managing the magazine. During the celebration weekend, Gigi recalled that there was little knowledge of Chinese martial arts when the magazine was first issued and the market was limited. However, she and her husband Thomas Oh, also the founder, had the full faith that Chinese martial art would grow its popularity in time. They distributed the magazine mostly in the United States and Canada, and some European countries. In 2011, it added a digital version, people can read on their computers and tablets; therefore, the overseas market has expanded. In recent years, the KFTC Magazine also invests in the production of videos on their YouTube channel and enjoys a success.

Four hundred people performed Tai Chi 24.

In my opinion, the KFTC Magazine has several winning features. First, its cover photo is vivid and depicts not just the characteristics of the featured martial art master, but also the uniqueness of his or her martial art style. Secondly, the KFTC Magazine generously uses much of its space to describe the art in detail along with plenty of great photos to illustrate the movements. Thirdly, it has quality writing and unbiased reporting. Lastly, it works hard to uncover rare and potentially lost martial art styles, weapons, and forms. They are not just promoting the art but also preserving it. Chinese martial arts embody the Chinese culture and philosophy. In fact, many western practitioners learn Chinese culture and philosophy from reading the magazine.

New Board members of the IWSD

The International Wushu Sanshou Dao Association (IWSD) is a non-profit organization established in Canada in 1987 with the coalition support of martial art enthusiasts from Canada, the United States, China, and the Soviet Union. It is also one of the most influential non-government martial arts organizations in the world. The IWSD has a well-established Duan Wei (or ranking) system to evaluate the skill levels and credentials of martial artists. IWSD founder, former Chairman, Grandmaster Liang Shouyu stated that the goal of IWSD is to promote Chinese martial arts through study and exchange knowledge among diverse martial styles. According to the current IWSD Chairman Master Peng Wen, the organization has more than one hundred branches with 60,000 members around the world.

The formal celebration of the two organizations started on May 19 at the historical San Jose “California Grand Theater”, which is magnificently beautiful. More than 40 martial artists including grandmasters and masters performed a spectacular Chinese martial arts show, which consisted of various styles of Tai Chi (Taiji), Shaolin Kung Fu, Nanquan, long fists, and modern martial arts. Former Shaanxi Wushu head coach Bai Wenxiang, internationally renounced Grandmaster Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming, Hong Quan Grandmasters John Leong and Chiu Chi-Ling, Hualin Grandmaster Chan Pui, Eagle Claw Grandmaster Lili Lau, Wing Chun Grandmaster Benny Meng, Wushu Grandmaster

Kung Fu Tai Chi Tournament

Dennis Brown, Wushu Tai Chi champion Zou Yunjian, Martial Arts Professor Wang Peikun, Internal Qigong Grandmaster Tu Jinsheng, Chen style Tai Chi twelfth generation successor Chen Bing, action movie star Robin Leong, Zhao Bao Tai Chi Master Peng Wen, a delegation of IWSD, and “Wild Aid” tournament champions all put their best effort forward and produced an electrifying show. The fully seated theater went crazy when 80-year-old Grandmaster Chan Pui crouched down to the floor in a second and then jumped up in a flash.

Kung Fu Tai Chi Day

Aside from the publishing business, the KFTC Magazine has held an annual Kung Fu Tai Chi tournament. This year was the ninth one with 1,200 participants coming from United States, Canada, Italy, Ukraine, the Netherlands, and China. One Chinese team leader Jia Jing said that the tournament and other celebratory activities provided an important international platform for players around the world to exchange the knowledge, skills, and friendship.

To support the effort of Wild Aid to protect endangered animals especially in response to the call of super star Jackie Chan, the KFTC Magazine held eight WildAid Tiger Claw Champions in the past and all the proceeds from the tournaments were donated to the tiger protection program. This year, the event had the most contestants ever and they were all elite athletes.

Additionally, the KFTC Magazine offered participants, their families, and San Jose residents a free martial arts show called “Kung Fu Tai Chi Day”. This event was held for six years and received the praise from the city of San Jose. In the previous years, “Kung Fu Tai Chi Day” was presented outdoors and this year it moved to the well-equipped McEnery Center. It was impressive to witness four hundred local Tai Chi practitioners performing Tai Chi 24 together with the lead of Master Zhou Yunjian. Afterwards, several masters and a few martial arts schools in Northern California presented various martial art styles and forms. Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming and Master Bryan Fong provided commentary on the characteristics of some martial art styles to help the audience to gain a deeper appreciation.

Kung Fu Tai Chi Day

In the afternoon of May 21, the KFTC Magazine sponsored three free workshops to enhance people’s knowledge. Grandmaster Xiao Jiaze explained “Martial Arts and Combat Techniques”. Grandmaster Liu Suibin spoke on “Cultivate your Health in your busy life”. Master Fu Xueli lectured on “Special Acupressure and Qigong Exercise.”

The IWSD hosted a Martial Art Banquet in the evening of May 22. 360 martial art grandmasters, masters, and seasoned practitioners representing three generations gathered together to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the IWSD and to renew their friendship. During the dinner, the KFTC Magazine also presented awards to outstanding martial artists for their valuable contribution to preserve and promote the art.
