OK, thanks. That was a pretty impressive dummy form. One of my close friends http://www.grandfatherofrap.com/ did Bak Mei before he moved to Paris. I always liked the style.
some karateka make use of a dummy as well

Wow, thanks for sharing those. I'm slowly getting a more complete picture of these device's pervasiveness in (so far) southern styles.
I have to say about Bak Mei. I feel about it the same way that I do about Julianne Moore. I really don't know much about either, never (to my knowledge) been in close proximity to either, but in both cases somehow I know that I am in love with them. Maybe someday I'll get a chance in one case or another to have a date.
Okinawa is part of the Ryukyu Islands. The word Ryu in Uechi Ryu means it's from Okinawa and is not "Karate". It's Okinawan and has it's origins in Fukien White Crane Kung Fu. I was stationed on "The Rock" in 66' -67' studied Shorinryu with Eizo Shimabuku. We weren't allowed to use the word Karate for Shorin (Shaolin) Ryu back then. Wado Ryu even has Chi Sao from it's Chinese origins. If you compare Okinawan Goju to Japanese Goju you'll see lower stances and a more kung fu look than Japanese Goju.
wooden dummies evolved from using trees. :p
