Thanks. I hope the quality is improving a little. Starting to get a diverse range of subjects too, which will make it a lot more interesting. Hopefully i don't run out of willing participants.

This interview was one of the most interesting so far. Gao Jian (tudi of the late Ma Hanqing) is a very progressive thinker and discusses in detail some important aspects of the practice and mastery of Chinese martial arts in today's world. Enjoy:

Nice one....not as deep but interesting all the same. Regarding the Dongbei thing, One of my martial brothers went to Harbin to study for a few years because the Beijing Ma style was not so practical ...

Brendan,
Fascinating article!
I thought this quote in particular was interesting:

"Master Ma has told me that Meihua is better for showing and Liuhe is better for fighting (梅花好看，六合好用.)."
