The Taizhou 2007 International Invitational Shuai Jiao Tournament ran from November 20th to November 26th, and all participants enjoyed the modern facilities and pro- fessional, well-run, event. Many European countries sent competitors, but were hard-pressed to fill all of their team positions. The European Championships held just the month before in Spain had depleted the energy and funds of several teams. The USA Team was also short of competitors and only fielded players in six of the ten weight classes in the men’s division, and in only three on the women’s team. However, despite the lack of full teams, the USA finished a strong fourth place, the highest placing of any non- Chinese team. The Chinese had two full teams in addition to a team from Mongolia.

Led by Dr. Chi-hsiu Daniel Weng and his son, current USSA Presi- dent, Jan-yu Weng, the event brought together Shuai Chiao fighters and instructors from all over Ohio. Five competed in China. Beginning with a comprehensive aerobic warm-up with special balance and coordination drills, the focus quickly moved to tournament strategy and specifics. Dr. Weng demon- strated the agile footwork he is famous for, and showed how to combine it with the decep- tively simple hand and arm control techniques that allow him to handle even a large oppo- nent. The afternoon was spent on applications, including a couple hours of light sparring.

It would not have been possible, however, without countless wonderful people guiding and encouraging me along the way. I have found life-long mentors, friends, and family members. When I reflect on this experience as a whole, they are truly what I value most. I would like to express my deep gratitude to the Department of Linguistics at the University of Michigan, Horace H.

Colleagues and friends in the Socio-discourse Group and the Linguistic Anthropology Lab must be thanked for their constant stimulation and constructive feedback.

Most of these films have been released under more than one title, and while we've done our best to use the one that's most likely to be familiar, that doesn't guarantee you aren't trying to find Crippled Avengers and don't know we've got it as The Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms. And so, we've gathered as many alternative titles as we can find, including their original language title(s), and arranged them in alphabetical order in this index to help you out. Remember, English language articles ("a", "an", "the") are ignored in the sort, but foreign articles are NOT ignored. Hey, my Japanese is a little rusty, and some languages just don't have articles.

    © Idōkan Poland Association “IDO MOVEMENT FOR CULTURE. Journal of Martial Arts Anthropology”, Vol. 19, no. 1S (2019), pp. 25–31 DOI: 10.14589/ido.19.1S.5 ANTHROPOLOGY Stefania Skowron-Markowska Institute of Classical, Mediterranean and Oriental Studies of the University of Wroclaw (Poland) e-mail: [email protected] Chinese guó shù (國術 “national art”) in Shaolin Temple Submission: 12.11.2018; acceptance: 12.01.2019 Key words: Shaolin temple, Chinese martial arts, kung fu, martial arts tourism, guo shu Abstract Background. The Shaolin monastery offers a meeting with Chinese culture by implementing a guo shu, program that the Chinese government supports and helps develop. Guo shu, implemented during the republican era in China supported the development of national arts, including Chinese martial arts. It was developed to rebuild a sense of patriotism and national pride in the Chinese nation after the Opium Wars and the Boxer Rebellion. Problem and Aim. The purpose of this paper is to present the new challenges that the Shaolin monastery has faced in modern times and how is it currently implemented based on the guo shu concept. Because the Shaolin monastery is also seen as a great emissary of the culture of the Middle Kingdom, students also have the opportunity to get acquainted with Chinese culture. Methods. The theoretical perspective is based on the sociology and anthropology of martial arts. For the theoretic background, an analysis of specialist text and documents was applied. The author also applied participant observation and interviews with foreign Shaolin kung fu students, visiting Shaolin temple in 2007, 2012.
