This old magazine is really getting me interested in trying to do gong fu again. I keep seeing photos of stuff which just makes sense from capoeira or in one case fencing! It just seems less mystical and more like how bodies move. ‘Course, all martial arts are on hold right now due to lack of money, and when employed, time and energy.

Like this jian stuff is just foil! I know this style basically! There’s much more turned bodies because you’re trying to guard your crotch and move more perpendicular axis which foil doesn’t have but wing tsun does. If I could find a sifu I could pick this up in no time!
