    I'd be more concerned with flinging feces into blood.

    moving troops secretly is strategy, inciting fear with them is tactics.

    the rings are noise makers. they make noise for all sorts of reasons. You can also tie decorative flags to them, which in turn helps identify you on a battle field etc etc.

    also, it may have to do with the buddhist ideal that they are used in a spiritual sense.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    San He Chuan: Sunzi would have disagreed with that assertation. Moving troops secretly is one of the best ways to win a war.
    secretly and stealth are not always the same thing.

    You cannot conceal the movement of a large body of troops, as long as there is someone to observe them. Thousands of armored troops, horses, supply wagons, camps, etc. If the enemy is not close it doesn't matter how loud they are, they will not be heard. The trick is to use the stealthy guys to take out the enemies forward observes so the enemy does not know of your passing.

    Or better yet, as Sunzi would say, go where they are not looking.

    We did discuss rings before...

    ...I can't find that thread right now. I'm still looking.

    As for archery, there's this thread. We also ran The Missing Link: Archery in China By Tim Louie in our 2007 March/April issue.

    Weird random PR article

    I hope he's right. But speaking as a martial arts weapons vendor for 35+ years, I'm skeptical. It reminds me of one of those pitches you sell to the PRC market when they have no sense of the global market.
