No, the black guy is your OTHER personality. He is a Black Isrealite. Your other half is an Edomite. you are at war with yourself

This may be a stupid question, but i'm gonna ask it anyway.

Assuming that most styles of kung fu came from mainland China, are there records of any styles that are more "native" to Taiwan? Or village styles, perhaps?

Also, what was the state of kung fu in Taiwan pre-Communist takeover of China?

Yes there is, search for Five Clow Golden Eagle fist and you will find it. That is a taiwan originated martial art lineage. 五爪金鷹門. The stuff there is purely from taiwan and here is a video of me doing a double dao of the lineage's form:

For Chissakes! Is there no one on this God forsaken forum who'll give me the Chinese characters for "Taiwanese Blood Bath" so I can go search for footage on yukoo???
"The training was designed to 4 of my students to fight in the full contact tournament in Taiwan, which is bare knuckle. The rules in Taiwan were simple, you could use ground work, low kicks, take downs, etc. I had approximately 3 years to produce winners. I taught them a type of iron hand that required boiling in medicine; being able to fight full contact with just a mouth guard and a cup. They were celibate for the period of training, (or supposed to be). They could run 5 miles or more each day and do knuckle push-ups on gravel ﾖ anything. I taught them body conditioning so they could take a punch and how to deal with strikes anywhere on their body. The rules used in Taiwan were simple and few at that time. An example of the first time, held two fighters were killed. Some papers in Asia billed it as the Taiwanese blood bath...."

Yeah, the 28 second clip looks more like it than the second clip; but there's only 28 seconds of it. The second clip looks a lot less intense than the first. Thanks Lucas.

Still no links to the Taiwan blood bath? Even on a Taiwan Kung Fu thread? I know there's a Chinese version of youtube (isn't it like yukuu.com or something?), but even if I go there I won't know how to type "Taiwan Blood Bath Footage" in Chinese so I can search for the footage. Or even some articles...er, well no since they'd be in Chinese. I am disappointed....

This doesn't look like a question to me. Dramatic, much?

Yes, dramatic. Much. I was making a lot out of it, but I really would like the characters so I can do a search if no Chinese speakers here provide any links. Maybe I'd be better off searching the "1986 Kuoshu Tournament" title of the :28 youtube clip if I could get a Chinese translation. Looking back I indirectly suggested someone provide a link in a few threads, but never directly asked. And google translator sucks. Everytime I use that thing I end up more confused than I was with the actual Chinese! (Ok, I'm exaggerating again, but those google translations are usually quite confusing)
