have me standing in a horse stance or a bow stance or a cat stance for uncomfortable
periods of time.

Some of these masters were Taoist, some were Buddhist, some were unknown save for
their enigmatic lives and presence in far away places, caves, forests, hermitages.
Others were skilled mendicants, physicians, monks and so forth, that lived among
the populace in their respective places in monasteries, palaces, and others who

Historical Certainty and Martial Arts
Part II.
|
|
It is a well known, established fact that the above statement is actually a continuation of a tradition of Chinese Martial Arts. It was only at the turn of the 20th century
that we find public documents making reference to Chinese WuShu in any detail. Previous to this, the documents that exist go back a few hundred years and the MSS are not publicly prepared documents,
but of other sort with authorship being an ongoing issue of scholarship to this day. We are fortunate that many brilliant minds are working on such material,
but we must also be cautious about accepting scholarly viewpoints that are designed to support the political or social agenda of a few.

 Commentaries on the 24 Essentials
Martial Arts has changed a great deal in the last few years. Some of the changes
are welcome and it can be said that certain aspects of martial arts training
now are superior to some of the ways of ancient times. I am not saying that
the new ways are better and the old ways are inferior. Indeed, that is not
the case, in my opinion, but that the times are different and society is different
and everything today moves at a much faster pace and people generally will
not take the time to train the way it was done in the past.
