I think the Chinese are on the right path with their national heritage. I know it had a rocky and controversial beginning, and I know there's still some controversy in their approach - but breaking down and systemizing Chinese Martial Arts is a good thing IMO. Preserving and teaching Talou, creating performance talou, and then dividing off San Shou, San Da, Qigong, and internal - it makes sense to me.
It seems they're taking a whole-istic approach and treating all as one Chinese Martial Art. Forms are being preserved and shared, and a new branch has been developed that's devoted to fighting in a modern context.
I like it.
