I understand that traditional martial art was opposed in this era and the teachers were ' encouraged ' to standardise modern format routines rather than traditional routines.
After this period and with the expansion of traditional arts coming out of China in the 1980's I am interested to know if the routines of the old style ( Laojia) taught today are from the period before the communist intervention.
Many thanks
