RED BOAT DUMMY ORIGINS: http://chinesemartialstudies.com/201...-wooden-dummy/

As a researcher in an unrelated field I am used to looking at stop-frame in vids to detect signals/manifestations in "high-speed" subject matter. So, looking at the top photo presented in the link above I can clarify a few things having used magnification to study the photo. First of all, because of the date of the photo, the subjects posed for the shot and had to stay frozen in place for a non-blurred result in development of the negative. Notice the left hand blocking wooden "arm" and right hand delivering punch to torso of dummy. Practitioner is in classic WC high "goat catching stance". Feet are both turned inward (you can see this by how the right foot to toe "disappears" from view), One leg, left, is NOT off the ground. What you may think is the sole of the left foot is a lower "arm" protruding from dummy trunk, where there is some wound rigging hanging from this area also. What looks like a leg/thigh lifted is just part of the boat/background that is in water(effect seen on left in photo). * Note the hair on the two persons in photo is grown out and tied in with braid (unshaven) which may have been in keeping with the Opera Troupe on-stage presence. Also note the rounded top of the dummy trunk that if set in a cradle would keep it from binding as it revolved, the dummy being of an unnecessary height for MA work-out alone. Both of them are wearing their best attire (belted) and are not typical sailors dressed for cruising the Pearl Delta for long hours.
