Because we all know that WC is the perfect style for stewardesses! ;)
How come I never come across hot women wanting to train WC. I would even let them train in a stewardess uniform. ;)
This has both the Chinese and English versions.

Hong Kong cabin crews get kung fu training
(AFP) – 1 day ago
http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp...89-1-0&size=s2
HONG KONG — A Hong Kong airline is making all its cabin crew take kung fu lessons to help them to deal with drunk and unruly passengers.
Hong Kong Airlines said all staff had been invited to undergo training in wing chun -- a form of kung fu used in close-range combat -- but it was only compulsory for cabin crew, the Sunday Morning Post reported.
The airline had around three incidents involving disruptive passengers every week, said Eva Chan, the carrier's deputy general manager of corporate communication.
Two weeks ago a crew member had to put her martial arts training into practice on a flight from Beijing to Hong Kong.
"One of the passengers was sick but he was probably drunk and felt unwell. The crew member attended to him and she realised her fitness was helping her, especially because the guy was quite heavy," Chan told the newspaper.
"Normally, a female cabin crew can't handle a fat guy, especially if he's drunk, but because of the training, she can handle it quite easily."
New recruit Lumpy Tang, 22, said she never imagined kung fu would be part of the job.
"We were surprised in the beginning, but after a few lessons we really liked wing chun," Tang told the Post.
"You cannot predict what will happen on the plane, so wing chun is good because it's so fast," she said. "I feel safer because I can defend myself and I'm really happy to be one of the first cabin crew to learn wing chun in the world."
Wing chun instructor Katherine Cheung said the martial art was ideal for airline crews.
"Wing chun can be used in small, confined spaces so it's suited for an airplane," Cheung said. "It's easy to learn but difficult to master."
I will show this to some of my students/airmarshalls....working
Out with stewardess should help pass boring international flights
Hah!
i like to ride the chuuu chuuu train
Lumpy Tang?? I guess you can get away with that in China, but I wouldn't try it over here.
Well, since Wing Chun was developed for use on a junk, it should work out quite well in an airplane. Same problems.
Nearly 100 articles on the newsfeed this morning including USAToday, Fox & MSNBC.
Here's the stock photo on the Fox article, just because I like it. http://a57.foxnews.com/static/manage...224/kungfu.jpg
I've been trying to find a pic of Lumpy Tang. I found an album here, but I'm not sure that's *the* Lumpy Tang. I mean seriously, how many Lumpy Tangs are there in the world? I've friended her on facebook and will try to ask for confirmation.

Hong Kong Airlines Is Training Its Flight Attendants in Kung Fu
By Jetpacker at The Jetpacker

Unruly airline passengers beware! Hong Kong Airlines is requiring its flight attendants to learn kung fu, something the airline hopes will help its crew deal with drunk and unruly passengers.
The airline’s entire staff has been invited to train in wing chun, a form of kung fu used in close-range combat, but it’s actually REQUIRED for the cabin crew.
The airline deals with about three disruptive passengers a week, according to Hong Kong Airlines spokeswoman Eva Chan.
Wing chun instructor Katherine Cheung says the martial art is ideal for airline crews because it can be used in small, confined spaces like an airplane.
And the benefit of the martial arts training is already on display: Two weeks ago, a flight attendant used her training to resolve an incident on a Beijing-Hong Kong flight. Unfortunately, the incident didn’t end in a passenger getting karate-chopped or receiving a roundhouse kick to the face.
Basically, the unruly passenger was a bigger guy, he got a little drunk during the flight, and the female flight attendant said she was better able to handle the situation due to her increased strength from the kung fu training. Whatever.
Still haven't heard from Lumpy...Quote:
Your Kung Fu is Strong, But My Flight Attendant’s Dragon Style Will Defeat You!

Hong Kong Airlines says they deal with 3 drunk or unruly passengers a week, and have decided to require that all of their flight attendants learn kung fu in order to handle problems with a vengeance.
Here’s how it will work in practice:
A flight attendant could use the chi sau (“sticky hands”) technique to prevent a passenger from hitting him. “The idea,” Phillips explains, “is to block and control a person’s arms by linking your arms with theirs.”
Next, split the assailant’s arms. Here, the flight attendant raises his left arm, and makes contact with his opponent’s chest, while holding back the arm with his right hand.
The flight attendant now traps the assailant’s arms, leaving his right arm free to land a restraining punch. Though, as Phillips points out, “It wouldn’t be a very good idea for a cabin crew member to hit a passenger.”

dam. compulsory wing chun.
death is a preferable alternative to wing chun.
PassPort Please!!!!!!!
how come the girl in the photo is not "square"?
Should the shoulder square with the hip?
Dang...they're using Mutants now...

actually people are more interested in the food or snack they serve on board.
for example, they serve so much better food at disneyland hong kong.

I was a bit worried for the airlines for a minute, imagine one of the attendants using what they learn to seriously injury a paying passenger, the legal and financial ramifications would be enormous...then I realised it was wing chun they were learning so I breathed a sigh of relief as there's no danger of that happening now :)
Passenger: Excuse me Stewardess, may I have some peanuts and can you bring me an extra pillow.
Stewardess: I suggest you sit there and keep your f****cking trap shut if you don't want to get chain punched into the next row!
actually ba gua would be better
as they have to bring food and drink in a tray and walk in a narrow aisle.
dish tray can be a hard weapon, too.
similar to deer horn without sharp edges.
:cool:
hmmn. well, air marshals carry glocks n' 45s...so, winning! :p
Wouldn't want to be that air marshal who had to fire one of those on board...
Oh, and that woman is mad hot. A wee bit cross-eyed, but still mad hot.
Its the angle of the photo!
My daughter (3 years old) is half Filipina, 1/8 Chinese! My wife complained to our Pediatrician every time we went to see him for the first two years about her crossed eyes!
He told her "THEY ARE NOT CROSSED" over and over again! They just appear to be crossed from certain angles due to the epicanthic fold/shape of Asian eyes.:)
I changed the thread title and am moving this from the Wing Chun forum as now it has spread its wings and flown to qinna. ;)

Air crews learn how to pack a punch

Air crews learn how to pack a punch

An air security instructor teaches stewardesses of China Eastern Airlines qin na, a Chinese martial art, in Shanghai in December. Provided to China Daily
SHANGHAI - Flight attendants at China Eastern Airlines are being trained in qin na, a Chinese martial art, to assist aircraft police and security guards when emergencies occur.
The first group of 20 China Eastern stewardesses took their first training class on Dec 16, and the company intends to expand the training program to all its 2,600-plus flight attendants in Shanghai, said Zhang Yuhong, a senior official with China Eastern's fifth passenger cabin services department.
"The decision has been made because of the recent satisfactory training outcome," Zhang said. Many of the trainees said the program was easy to learn and practically oriented to improve their on-the-job skills.
Zhang said China Eastern flight attendants are divided into five departments, and the fifth has about 450 crew members.
"Our department's training will finish by the end of February, and in the following months, the other four departments will undergo similar training," Zhang said.
All domestic airliners have security guards as well as air police to ensure safety. They wear plain clothes, but identify themselves when an emergency occurs.
"Stewardess's work responsibilities include aiding the security guards and police when the crew and passengers are in danger," a flight attendant from the Shanghai-based carrier was quoted as saying by Oriental Morning Post in Shanghai.
Flight attendants are usually hijackers' first - and to their minds easiest - target, and by learning basic self-defense and wrestling skills, they not only can protect themselves, but also win time for the air police to subdue the outlaws, Zhang said.
China Eastern is not the first Chinese airline to begin such a training program. In April, Hong Kong Airlines required new cabin crew members to master wing chun, a form of kungfu practiced by the legendary Bruce Lee, South China Morning Post reported.
As of yet, other Chinese carriers have not shown interest in requiring cabin crew to be trained in martial arts, though all Chinese airlines provide security training for their cabin crews.
Dragonair, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hong Kong-headquartered Cathay Pacific, said in a written reply that all Dragonair cabin crew go through security training during their initial training, and later also regularly receive refresher security training to equip them with the skills to handle circumstances that could threaten flight security. Dragonair had no comment on China Eastern's martial arts training program.
Zhang Wu'an, spokesman for Spring Airlines, China's only budget carrier, said they have no plan to launch a similar program because they consider their current training enough for their daily operation.
To serve and subdue...;)
can I get my bag of peanuts please????

Pam Grier, TNT Jackson & Kung Fu Stewardesses: The Roger Corman 'Lethal Ladies' Collections

Markov discovers a good way to get an inferiority complex is to stand this close to Pam Grier in 'The Arena'
The fourth week of January was big for fans of kick-ass women who literally kick ass. (Note: Dear readers, please take me to task if I ever again compose a sentence that sounds so much like it was written for Ain't It Cool News.)
On Jan. 20, "Haywire," with real-life mixed martial arts champion Gina Carano, and "Underworld: Evolution," with unreal-life vampire warrior Kate Beckinsale, opened in theaters.
Four days later, the Shout! Factory label released "Lethal Ladies Collection 2," a two-disc triple-feature of 1970s exploitation gold (or perhaps fool's gold) that is the latest in the company's ongoing and invaluable "Roger Corman's Cult Classics" initiative.
Characterized by copious nudity and cartoonish violence, the triple feature includes "The Arena" (1974), aka "Naked Warriors," with Pam Grier as a "Nubian" gladiator in ancient Rome; "Cover Girl Models" (1975); and "Fly Me" (1973), which has been blessed with perhaps the most direct and enticing plot summary in Internet Movie Database history: "Stewardesses battle kung fu killers."
http://blogs.commercialappeal.com/th...manlethall.jpg
This second volume of lethal ladies was preceded in October by -- what else? -- the Shout! Factory's first "Lethal Ladies Collection," a superior "Roger Corman's Cult Classics" triple feature that more legitimately deserves the cult "classics" designation than its sequel.

http://blogs.commercialappeal.com/th...l/corflyme.jpg
The second disc of the "Lethal Ladies Collection 2" set features a pair of fun and complementary if inconsequential movies about trios of sexy friends-colleagues. "Fly Me" is a tale of "****pit cuties... flying out of the skies and onto your laps," according to the trailer included on the disc; while "Cover Girl Models" finds the title beauties mixing it up with internatonal spies. Both films were directed by Santiago.
Perhaps inspired by Ursula Andress' entrance in "Dr. No," "Fly Me" opens with a shot of a beautiful woman in a white bikini emerging from the surf to retrieve her beach towel, her New Yorker magazine and her copy of "The Sensuous Man." The woman is Toby (Pat Anderson -- remember her from "TNT Jackson"?), late for her first day on the job as a stewardess; catching a cab to the airport, she strips in the back seat to change into her uniform, which naturally causes driver **** Miller to run off the road.
A sexy klutz, Toby is joined by fellow "****pit cuties" Andrea (Lenore Kasdorf), the only "lethal lady" in the film (Andrea knows kung fu), and Sherry (Lyllah Torena), who may not be a nymphomaniac but is certainly unchoosy. An unwelcome and annoying companion for both the stewardesses and the audience is Toby's comic-relief mother (Naomi Stevens), presented as a stereotypically Jewish-accented busybody dedicated to preserving her daughter's virginity. A Hong Kong white-slavery subplot adds suspense to the sex/comedy, and gives Andrea a chance to display her martial-art flair, in weak action scenes reportedly directed by Jonathan Demme.
Foxy Brown does have the most bodacious tatas doesn't she? :)
