  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION The wuxia film is the oldest genre in the Chinese cinema that has remained popular to the present day. Yet despite its longevity, its history has barely been told until fairly recently, as if there was some force denying that it ever existed. Indeed, the genre was as good as non-existent in China, its country of birth, for some fifty years, being proscribed over that time, while in Hong Kong, where it flowered, it was gen- erally derided by critics and largely neglected by film historians. In recent years, it has garnered a following not only among fans but serious scholars. David Bordwell, Zhang Zhen, David Desser and Leon Hunt have treated the wuxia film with the crit- ical respect that it deserves, addressing it in the contexts of larger studies of Hong Kong cinema (Bordwell), the Chinese cinema (Zhang), or the generic martial arts action film and the genre known as kung fu (Desser and Hunt).1 In China, Chen Mo and Jia Leilei have published specific histories, their books sharing the same title, ‘A History of the Chinese Wuxia Film’ , both issued in 2005.2 This book also offers a specific history of the wuxia film, the first in the English language to do so. It covers the evolution and expansion of the genre from its beginnings in the early Chinese cinema based in Shanghai to its transposition to the film industries in Hong Kong and Taiwan and its eventual shift back to the Mainland in its present phase of development. Subject and Terminology Before beginning this history, it is necessary first to settle the question ofterminology , in the process of which, the characteristics of the genre will also be outlined.

  • Yang Family, Yang Style楊家,楊式
    Yang Family, Yang Style 楊家,楊式 by Sam Masich Frequently I am asked questions about the curriculum of Yang Style Taijiquan. What does it include? Why do some schools include material that others don’t? Why are some practices considered legitimate by some teachers but not by others? In order to understand the variances in curriculum from school to school it is first necessary to understand a few historical factors relating to the creation of this branch of Taijiquan as well as the opinions of the Yang family itself. In 1990 I had the fortune of riding with master Yang Zhenduo from Winchester, Virginia to Washington D.C. in a van filled with Tai Chi players. We were all going to the Smithsonian institute and to see the sights. It was a sunny day and everyone in the vehicle was in very good spirit after an intense, upbeat five-day workshop. The mood was relaxed and, as I was sitting close to Master Yang and his translator, I took the opportunity to ask some questions about his life in China, his impressions of America, his training and his views on Tai Chi. At some point I came to the subject of curriculum and asked him, among other things, what he thought about the 88 movement Yang Style Taijiquan San Shou (Sparring) routine. Master Yang said, "This is Yang Style Taijiquan not Yang Family Taijiquan." He went on further to explain that this was the creation of his fathers’ students and that, while it adhered well to the principles of his father’s teachings, it was not to be considered part of the Yang Family Taijiquan.

  • Southern Mantis System Are Short Range, Based on Inch Force Power That Comes from Tendon Contraction
    Southern Praying Mantis system written by F.Blanco 1.ORIGINS In 1644 AD, the Manchurian tribe had invaded China and defeated the Ming dynasty rulers. Ming loyalist, nobles and soldiers, escaped and went south. As pointed by the Wushu historian Salvatore Canzonieri, many of this rebels relocated in the The Honan Shaolin. The Ching rulers discovered the temple was a focus of resistance and they burned Songshan Shaolin in 1768. After the destruction of the temple many of the Chu family and other nobles and also many Shaolin monks from Honan moved to the South Shaolin temples (Fujian and Jian Shi). The Chu Gar style legend mentions Tang Chan, (his real name was Chu Fook Too or Chu Fook To), who belonged to the Ming Imperial court (1) as one of this rebels that emigrated to the Southern temples. At the Fujian temple (located in the Nine Little Lotus Mountains) the monks and rebels shortened the time it took to master the boxing styles from 10 years to 3 years with the purpose of train quickly the fighters to overthrow the Ching rulers and restore the Ming dynasty. The Chu Gar legend says that Chu Fook Too became abbot in the Fujian temple and changed his name to "Tung Sim" (anguish) due to his deep anguish and hatred for the Ching's reign of terror and suffering. In the style's legend he was the person that developed the Southern Praying Mantis style. The monks (or Chu Fook Too himself) developed kung fu fighting styles that were faster to learn, based on close range fighting, designed to defeat a martial art skilled opponent (Manchu soldiers and Imperial Guard) with fast, powerful chains of attacks that left no time for counter-attacks.

  • Tai Chi Chuan Martial Applications: Advanced Yang Style Tai Chi Chaun Pdf
    FREE TAI CHI CHUAN MARTIAL APPLICATIONS: ADVANCED YANG STYLE TAI CHI CHAUN PDF Jwing-Ming Yang | 364 pages | 05 Nov 1996 | YMAA Publication Center | 9781886969445 | English | Rochdale, United States Tai Chi Chuan Martial Applications: Advanced Yang Style by Jwing-Ming Yang The Yang family first became involved in the study of t'ai chi ch'uan taijiquan in the early 19th century. Yang became a teacher in his own right, and his subsequent expression of t'ai chi ch'uan became known as the Yang-style, and directly led to the development of other three major styles of t'ai chi ch'uan see below. Yang Luchan and some would say the art of t'ai chi ch'uan, in general came to prominence as a result of his being hired by the Chinese Imperial family to teach t'ai chi ch'uan to the elite Palace Battalion of the Imperial Guards ina position he held until his death. Yang Jianhou the third son Yang Chien-hou Jianhou — passed on the middle frame long form, sometimes called the 2nd generation Yang form or the Yang Jian hou form to his disciples who still pass on this more martial form that is when seen more reminiscent of Chen style for which it is closer to in time as well as form than the Yang Cheng fu form or 3rd generation styles. Thus, Yang Chengfu is largely responsible for standardizing and popularizing the Yang-style t'ai chi ch'uan widely practised today. Yang Chengfu developed his own shortened "large frame" version of the Yang long Form, in order to make it easier to teach to modern students who are busy with modern life.

  • Opening Exercises for Pangai-Noon Classes Junbi Undu (Stretching)
    Pangai-Noon Origin & History Our Roots in China: Pangai-Noon is a martial art system that has evolved over many hundreds of years and represents a mingling of the Chu Gar (official martial art of the Ming Dynasty), Southern Shaolin Temple Boxing (Five fists of Fukien), Southern Mantis (Chow Gar), Okinawan Naha-Te and Shorin-Ryu (Shaolin way). The Shaolin Temple The Shaolin order dates to about 540 AD, when Boddhidarma (in Chinese - Tamo), an Indian Buddhist priest, traveled to China to see the Emperor. At that time, local Buddhist monks were translating Buddhist texts from Sanskrit to Chinese, by order of the Emperor, with the intent to allow the general populace the ability to practice this religion. Tamo traveled to the nearby Buddhist temple to meet with the monks who were translating these Buddhist texts. The temple, constructed years before in the remains of a forest that had been either cleared or burned down, was named "young forest" (in Mandarin, Shaolin - in Cantonese, Sil Lum), since at the time of temple construction, the emperor's gardeners had also planted new trees. Upon his arrival, Tamo was refused admittance to the temple, perhaps being thought an intrusive foreigner by Fang Chang, the head abbot. After being rejected by the monks, he went to a nearby cave and meditated until the monks recognized his religious prowess and admitted him. Legend has it that Tamo bored a hole through one side of the cave with his constant gaze; however, the actual accomplishment that earned his recognition may very well be lost to history.
