18 martial skills and the Water Margin
The epic 'Water Margin (`)' is an incredible story, and includes depictions of a wide variety of weaponry. A variety of swords, sabres, staffs, spears, halberds, axes, flexible weapons, shields, forks etc are included, but I would like to ask: (1) what are the 18 skills recorded as in different historical periods? and (2) if you practice a traditional, comprehensive art today, what does your art consider the 18 skills?
Some of the skills/weapons featured in the Water Margin aren't seen today, and some skills/weapons in today's martial art aren't shown conversely in the classic epic.

Shipping to Japan is expensive
You have to calculate for all the returns we get. Sometimes we have to pay 3x to 5x the shipping just to get a product out. It would be nice to be able to do it on a case-to-case basis, but our computer just would handle that. Most of our non-USA customers buy a big boatload of stuff to make it worthwhile.
Man, I wish I had a big bag of swag. I could do without the stripey suit though. Stripes make me look fat.
