Traditional Wushu vs Cinematic Wushu

Interview with He Jing Han (Ba Gua Quan)
Traditional Wushu is about passing from one generation to the next.
Movie is about display or show.
Traditional training is about basic practice and boring. They may not be good to see or show.
etc.
:cool:
Baguaquan, not Baguazhang

Destruction of the Family
And you thought I was exaggerating....No more mothers and fathers
Saying 'Shifu' is illegal and PC incorrect.
.. no family values , no family kung fu.

Alberta, Canada's Progressive New Government Bans the Words "Mother" and "Father" in Schools
Quote:
It used to be: "Heather has two mommies."
Now, it's: "Heather has two non-gendered and inclusive caregivers."
That's the language the New Democratic Party government in Alberta, Canada, is telling teachers and school administrators to use when adressing the adults with whom students are living. Out: "mother" and "father." In: "parent," "caregiver," "partner," whatever.
And God help you if refer to one of the little rascals as "him" or "her."
Here's the pertinent language from the rainbow-adorned "Guidelines for Best Practices" that the highminded-progressive NDP government issued last week:
School forms, websites, letters, and other communications use non-gendered and inclusive language (e.g., parents/guardians, caregivers, families, partners, “student” or “their” instead of Mr., Ms., Mrs., mother, father, him, her, etc.)."
The purpose of the guidelines, according to the text, is to create "learning communities" that "respect diverse sexual orientations, gender identies, and gender expressions."
This is cultural Marxism, the destruction of the family and individuality by the State.

And I've never heard of an instance where a CMA teacher couldn't be referred to as Shifu or Sifu, unless that teacher preferred the title 'Laoshi', and only allowed inner-door disciples to call him Shifu/Sifu.
.
I have drawn neither of these conclusions that you are arguing against. I don't know where you got them from or why you make these conclusions and then argue against them'

The title of my previous post was Trends , not Apocalyptic. I was attempting to explain the trends towards reduction of interest in TCMA over time and over certain time periods and in the now. One is of course how modern life draws humans to more simplified less complex and even superficial activities. I mentioned how there are differences in cultural families such as the Chinese family bonds are traditionally stronger that the American Style and the Muslim Chinese (Hui) family bonds were the strongest . In the latter case there is nothing like a pre-existing open-to-anyone contract kill order in the Koran for apostasy to keep a family together lol.
...
So those are factors. Modern life has diminished the family structure. But I said specifically in North America, to add to this weakening, leftist-progressive governments have deliberately set out to kill family business and farms such as the NDP in Alberta (war on farms)and the Bureau of Land Management in the USA (war on ranchers) (to merely scratch the surface) And yep, that's another bad rap for the BLM acronym - lol. This of course destroys structures that bind families together throws them out in the great urban-alienation matrix.

So then you look at how kung fu will continue in family structures or clubs or government run organizations. People who are socialized with Mommy and Daddy being the State are less likely to be attracted to Traditional Family type TCMA, they just don't hold the family values for that. They are more likely to practice in commercial clubs. However on the other side, in what I believe to be a coming heavy repression in North America they maybe driven to such practices in order to go underground as the obvious social clubs may become persecuted in the near future by the Government who will begin to consider them para-military organizations.
So that is all --> trends, not apocalypse.
..
As for the second item, this is nothing so trivial as choice of language or looking up something the dictionary. "Mommy" and "Daddy" for undamaged natural human beings are emotional terms of bonding not some abstract words in the dictionary. Cultural Marxism is a tool meant to destroy the relationships between human beings. To censor and traumatize children , to change mommy and daddy to caregiver # 1 &2 etc is to sterilize or lobotomize them emotionally. Cultural Marxism is a deliberate program to destroy the traditional social order at the psychological level, to induce mental illness, emotional illness, in the population or to do in this case what I call Induced Identity Dysfunction. It is done for the purpose of control.

What this means for kungfu is that the raw material for intake ,the recruits are more likely to be damaged.
Kungfu TCMA is holistic and integrative , more so than the simplified MA like Taekwondo, MMA and Karate (at least the popular styes). However, like in my signature, one of the core ideas of TCMA is transformation. The carp continuously tries to breach the Dragon Gate and those that do become Dragons.
This is a very difficult process even for the healthy normal person.
In the induced mental illness, induced through negative socialization, the person's energies and emotions are working against themselves, In those induced dysfunctions m the person internalizes the outward repression against themselves This is seriously destructive towards any integration of Mind-Body-Spirit/Emotion. Transformation takes total commitment and TCMA starts with a healthy person and makes them into a superhuman. .
Everything inside has to be flushed out, the emotional pipes have to be flushed. Energies and emotions have to be brought up vigorously from the core. Mind body and emotion have to work together and emotional spirit drives the machine. The apparent stillness of suppression is not vitality and prevents a person from transforming.
Kungfu would have to be curative towards this first before going to work on it's regular path, Well, TCMA can be played at different levels but the core is transformation. There is what I think Adam Hsu calls his 100 day transformation and what he calls going "Up Mountain" (上山), which is to embark on immersive training to such intensity that a person transforms over a specific period of time.
..
So, we have the carp that are so fearful they cannot say if they are boys or girls, they have been traumatized by simple words like "mommy" and "daddy" and emotionally lobotomized to not knowing the difference between a rock and another carp. So much fewer of them will be inclined to try to jump the Dragon Gate, though it would do them a lot of good, and much fewer of them will make the transformation. That is not the depth of it, the depth is much more detail, much more extensive but I just put it in simple entertaining terms.
..
That's my idea. Under normal circumstance even the TCMA has to burn out the normal everyday habitual tensions of inhibiting socialization but the current onslaught to dehumanize human beings is no small thing and it has an effect on people in attempting success in the physical arts.

The so called nuclear family isn't really the only thing there is anymore. There's lots of variation on what constitutes families now and the motion towards inclusive language cuts off at the pass any attempts to demoralize or oppress those who do not fit into a rigid framework that is only subscribed to by an ever smaller portion of the population.
