My Pak Mei and Hung Gar are both alive and well. I knew martial arts were on a downward slope the first time I won a San Shou championship and received a small medal, then looked over and saw the guys that won in forms packing around 3-5 foot tall trophies.

What most of the world has not figured out is that: The people with the most trophies and who are most vocal about their arts often are the "empty teacups that make the most noise".
