Does your style have any of these moves?

This is quite funny, the techniques Dang Tou Pao 當頭砲 and Ao Luan Zhou 抝鸞肘 just happen to appear right next to each other in WuBeiZhi, in fact on the same printed block. So the author just read these straight out of one of the military compilation manuals around at the time. It cant be a coincidence that the same wording is used AND that they appear on the same page opposing one another.

That is super interesting! I'm sure the poem from Journey to the West has techniques lifted from such military treatises too. The main focus of my article will be on that poem. However, I do plan to mention the Water Margin poem to show there is a connection between the two.
