I am in the process of actually studying the style that the majority of the Boxer's learned...does that mean that I'm doomed to get my ass kicked and beheaded as well??

You mean that we can't actually do that??? Next thing you know, you're gonna tell me that I can't summon a legion of spirit warriors to purge the foreigners out of my country.

Well.....everyone is allowed to try.....but so far we are all waiting for the first success!
If you would like to give it a try yourself, please be sure to have a videographer with you so we can all laugh at you later on YouTube!
We might even play some soccer with your head!

officially up there in the ton 20 weirdest comments made about a photo on kfm. lolthe weird thing..the guy in the second row, third in from the left, looks like me.
I knew I was a Martial Artist in China in a past life,
I just didn't know I was a dead one...
"2nd row third from the left." ...awesome, lol, like you're pointing out an uncle or something...
who else looks for their doppleganger in old photos?
I have a hunch that we all do this looking for some past iteration of ourselves.
consider this, if you did well as a goat, you got to be a dog, if you did well as a dog, you get to be a cat, if you do well as a cat, you get to be ... a human.
If you do poorly as a human, you might go right back to goat.
Kung Fu is good for you.

not sure how Eastern philosophy looks at reincarnation, but according to Western Pagan/Wiccan philosophy, you don't go back, but remain human and go through trials, such as being severly handicapped in order to learn compassion, etc.
..just sayin'
I musta done something really bad in a past lifetime to have to be with my ex this time around...maybe I was Mengele...

This is a neat one:It didn't say "in" the prison, could have taken place outside the prison. The picture was taken during the time of the boxer rebellion, doesn't mean they were actually boxers. A lot of innocent people were rounded up and killed during this time.
It's also listed in the Library of Congress
The activities of the bandit White Wolf actually got mentioned in the New York Times a few years before he was caught and executed.

The boxers consisted mostly of farmers and ragtag peasants. Most likely instigated by the Boxer tongs. So few of them actually had Martial skills other than how to poke with a pitch fork or a thrashing stick and maybe a big knife. Some had guns, but not at all modern and few of them. It did not start out as a full blown rebellion, but more of a thug assault on missionaries and educators. It sort of got out of hand quickly and in came the foreign armies to crush the so called rebellion. Then the Empiress decided to save face and exicute all the participants. The Chinese took it in the neck for many years by all the foreign powers.

the qing emperor was a foreigner. the qing dynasty was foreign.
China didn't come back into it's own until after it's civil war...which still divides it somewhat between ROC and PRC
Kung Fu is good for you.

Oh Well. They were still in control of China at the time, and they were the ones that did the head chopping, not the British, Americans, Japanese, Dutch or Germans. Or any of the other nations that were squatting at the time in China. I know you understood what I was saying. So why do you always have to knit pick like some old woman?

This website has a lot of period beheadings. They appear to be be done by both Chinese and Japanese. There is one from Manchuria too.

Several of the pictures have Europeans posing with the dead bodies. They were some morbid b@st@rds back then!
