All things White Crane!!!

If I may put my 2 cents in:

Martial arts of all countries, peoples, ethnicities, religions etc all have their roots in Fighting. Martial survival techniques was the most important art form early mankind created.

Wu = 武 = Martial, Military, War like.

Shu = 術 = Skill, Method, Technique.

This is our roots no matter how you slice it. However, as time went on, certain groups added Yoga, Qi Gong, Meditation etc to their Martial Programs to increase the longevity of the peoples. Now I am going out on a limb here but I would guess that all of these health aspects were added during times of peace.

Now many Martial Arts have peace time aspects that students can perfect. However, when it is time to fight..... lets get back to basics and beat the crap out of some bad guys !
