4 or 7 star Wooden Dummy....
Hello everyone:
Anyone ever see a 4 arm or 7 arm wooden dummy..?
I know of the 3 arm Wing Chung wooden dummy...Its the same dummy but with 4 and 7 arms...Please let me know if anyone has ever seen that system...
I was taught for 30 years, with Sing Ming Li.
just now i come to realize he has taught me a style that no one has seen before..?
Move over Jackie Chan, and Jet Li, here comes the Ultimate fighter...
Movie martial arts not real

No one said movie martial arts were real. Just said it was interesting when a movie, or for that matter any entertainment media, incorporates martial arts elements other than supernatural ninjas or flying kung fu masters. Like, Ian Fleming in 1959's "Godfinger" (the book, not the movie), with Oddjob demonstrating a flying side kick breaking a fireplace mantle, and Goldfinger describing the demo as "Karate," but compared it to judo "like a Spandau machine gun is to a catapault." Or again in 1964's "You Only Live Twice" (the book, not the movie), introducing James Bond to a school of ninjutsu. Maybe two of the first references in Western literature to what at the time were lesser known martial arts. Like the poster's reference to the kung fu swords in old Sherlock Holmes movies. Just interesting historical perspective, that's all.
And then we have Jackie Chan as Mr. Miyagi in "The Karate Kid" remake. A diferent discussion entirely.
