    Chinese Opera Kung Fu Are They Hideing it ?

    Why can i not find anything on these systems of Kung Fu there names and forms techniques ? Are they hideing these systems and being secretive about them ? what kinde of Kung Fu Systems did the Chinese Opera have besides Wing Chun did they have any long fist northern styles ? What about Emei Kung Fu was any of them in the Chinese Opera ? There is a Sifu who taught Bruce Lee some Opera Kung Fu named Yeung Fook he was in one of the Chinese Opera s years ago and learned alot of Opera Kung Fu Systems hes probably close to 100 years old know if he s still alive I will see if i cant find some of the names of the systems he new .

    Secret systems are like secret societies:
    If you know about them, they aren;'t a secret.
    If they are a secret it means they tend to be so closed off that the "world passes them by" and they become stagnant and obsolete.
    Psalms 144:1
    Praise be my Lord my Rock,
    He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

    Just because you can't find it, doesn't mean it's hidden.

    It might just mean you aren't looking hard enough.

    there is no opera style its all random movements. the opera performer pays a kung fu guy to teach him some moves or just steal them from watching street performers. occasionally a failure kung fu guy will join out of desperation

    back in the day people were training kung fu to be army officer or join silk road caravans. they were highest professions. if you failed then you be an army conscript for free food and housing, or join a gang. if you failed some more then you wrestle on lei tai for money. if u fail even more then you do street performance and sell medicine. if you are ultimate failure then you join opera group
