Sure, just watched the first 2 episodes. They should have called it MMA Panda since there's not much kung fu. There's now a rumor that Kung Fu Tigress is also going to get her own series doing twerky...

The "cemented" tradition you mention may be in part because of film and video became available but were expensive to start with. Now it may be the opposite, because one can now see all over the...

Well said "To step outside your school, you must first step inside of it".

That said, I would add, search the variations for things that were lost from one's school.

Would love to see any...

Wonder while standing for an hour if one could get the same benefits while watching or listening to something else.

Sometimes string them all together. Funny thing is later after doing that, when I walk (normally) through a crowd, like an airport or a mall, the residual chi seems to just clear a path in front of...

Very interesting that a "no-soldier policy gave rise to the prosperity of stick martial arts, and sword skills were gradually integrated into it, with sticks instead of swords becoming normalized"....

When all 5 animals are done in one form it usually for demonstration, performance, or its a dragon form that contains all 5 animals. I don't know what's the case for the style you mentioned, but what...

There's probably more info on one of those old video tapes. It would probably be easy to tell if they were just making stuff up, or had some historical sources, or some mix of both. Either way, I'm...

Found some evidence of squirrel style in Kung Fu Magazine, of all places! Perhaps Gene could tell us where we could find Yuanming Zhang or Johnny Jang these days:

Nice to some of Lau Bun's CLF in action! The following clip a couple people have verified as his form. What do you think?
...

This one's nuts about kung fu:

They've made him look like a kpop idol! At least there's a fan-girl that can use a fan as a weapon, haha

Gene also had an article Cirque du Soleil Auditions Wushu Champs as far back as the July/Aug 2003 in Kung Fu Magazine. I just happened to stumble across that old magazine the other day.

I wonder...

There are many commentaries on that kind of subject in the Chuang Tzu in regards to the chapter on the archer and the game warden...

That's awesome that they are keeping the legend of awesomeness going...

That's great work he does! There were many kung masters in history that were disabled. Also movies, like the Master of the Flying Guillotine (that was defeated by the One-Armed Boxer). There is also...

That's very interesting given K-Star's connection to CIRQUE DU SOLEIL and location in Vegas!

Once, many years ago. The artists were good but it was awkward being a captive-audience to the politics between each performance!

Wonder how you determine which are the oldest. Is it based on what some lineage claims, or the content itself, or perhaps other sources...

Its out there, in 2022 Spring Festival Gala 1/4 from 1:05:22 to the end. Never seen tai chi like that, literally:

There was also some slapstick kung fu...

Great article. Wonder where can we get tiger masks like the one in the video. Both my parents are born in the year of the tiger, so we get to hear a lot of growling and purring...

They must be talking more about snake-like dragon forms sort of like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZE8-M65ZT8

That twisting and coiling is more symmetric, whereas most dragons are...

The r/kungfu and r/taijiquan groups on reddit are much more decentralized because there is no active moderator like here, so there's a lot more boasting and debunking of it, if that's what interests...

Yeah, almost any Kung Fu person in L.A. over 50 learned some parts of Arc Wong's forms...

No, unfortunately most of his forms out there are really watered-down, in large part because he only taught the complete forms to his top students, and various subsets of them to many many others....
