  • Chapter 2 Chinese Martial Arts
    Chapter 2 Chinese Martial Arts My adult life has been defined by the practice of traditional Chi- nese body technologies, a long-term practical research project I began on Richard Fowler’s suggestion. From September 1993 to September 2005 I studied cailifoquan (Cantonese: choy li fut kuen), a martial art from Southern China; tang peng taijiquan (Cantonese: tong ping taigek kuen), a Northern Chinese martial art; and zhi neng qigong, a contemporary body technology designed to develop the student’s health and longevity, with Wong Sui Meing in Montréal. Since I started in 1993 I estimate I have completed at least 10,000 hours of training under Wong’s direct supervision. Figure 8: The author’s teacher Wong Sui Meing in his Montréal studio, Wong Kung Fu. (Photo by Daniel Mroz) 46 The Dancing Word In September of 2005 I began to study chen taiji shiyong quanfa, a very old form of taijiquan, under the instruction of Chen Zhonghua. I participated in a series of intensive workshops and private lessons over a two-year period and in May 2007 traveled to Daqingshan Mountain in Shandong Province, China, for a one-month full-time intensive training period. I continue to study privately with Chen as often as his busy international teaching schedule allows. In August 2007 Chen granted me a formal teaching license in the style. In addition to these long-term studies, I have cross-trained in a variety of other styles of martial movement, including Indian kalarip- payattu under the late Govindankutty Nair (d. 2006), Indonesian kun- tao and silat under Willem deThouars and his senior student Randall Goodwin and Chinese baguazhang with Ken Cohen and Allen Pittman.

Recently Dr. Farrer compiled ‘War Magic and Warrior Religion: Cross-Cultural Investigations’ for Social Analysis.

FARRER DOI ABSTRACT 10.18573/j.2015.10017 Martial anthropology offers a nomadological approach to Martial Arts Studies featuring Southern Praying Mantis, Hung Sing Choy Li Fut, Yapese stick dance, Chin Woo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and seni silat to address the infinity loop model in the anthropology of performance/performance studies which binds KEYWORDs together efficacy and entertainment, ritual and theatre, social and aesthetic drama, concealment and revelation. The infinity Efficacy, entertainment, loop model assumes a positive feedback loop where efficacy nomadology, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, flows into entertainment and vice versa. The problem addressed seni silat, Chinese martial arts, here is what occurs when efficacy and entertainment collide? performance Misframing, captivation, occulturation, and false connections are related as they emerged in anthropological fieldwork settings CITATION from research into martial arts conducted since 2001, where confounded variables may result in new beliefs in the restoration Farrer, D.S.

  • The First International Wushu Competition Was Held
    The United States Plum Blossom Federation Competes in Xuwen China Report by Sifu Alan B. Hubbard Eastern Ways Martial Arts, Sacramento, CA The First International Xuwen Huajian Garden Cup Wushu Invitational Tournament was held August 5 and 6 2006 in Xuwen China in the Guangdong Province, an unlikely yet fitting place for such a significant competition. Xuwen is located on the most southern tip of mainland China, and it has been said that Xuwen is the start of the Chinese civilization. Even more unlikely is that a team from the other side of the world could attend this event and compete with such success. Grand Opening of Chan Heung’s House After Renovation The Plum Blossom International Federation team made this happen under the leadership of the Plum Blossom Federation founder Grandmaster Doc-Fai Wong. The Plum Blossom Group brought 48 members from the United States and United Kingdom traveled through Hong Kong and met the China’s Plum Blossom members (a total 50 of us), and then traveled by bus to King Mui (Jing Mei), a village of the Xinhui district of Jiangmen city in Guangdong province, China. This is the birthplace of the Choy Li Fut founder, Chan Heung. We arrived there on August 3rd to a warm welcome from the people of the small village. This was the 200th birthday of the founder and a huge celebration was planned and executed at the original home and the original training hall of Chan Heung. The villagers say that it has never rained on Chan Heung’s birthday so there was little concern or preparation for rain.
