Thank you very much for sharing this! Really appreciated your work and the accurate information. Ours roots are from the Vietnam Ching Woo association, Cholon ( Chinatown in Saigon).
I was told in the early 2000s that the last disciple of jing Wu gave his blessing for the school to be reopened under the name long Wu Kung Fu 龙武功夫。The long Wu school was then in the French concession around huashan Lu & xiangyang bei Lu. No idea of it's still there, but the main coach was pretty good, nice guy too but it's been so long I can't remember his name😑
Good one - hope you'll do a follow-up piece on the Central Martial Arts Institute (中央武术馆), which set up at Nanjing in the 1920s and had many famous members.
@@Bj-yf3im It went bankrupt during the Japanese invasion, long before the KMT fled to Taiwan. There are many groups in both China and Taiwan that teach the Guoshuguan curriculum, but it's not the official Institute
i like how you linked the founding of Jingwu with what the Japanese were doing with Budo. Are the MMA guys in Jingwu part of Jingwu or are they guys who rented the place?
Mizong I is part of the Fu Jow Pai system. We have 4 forms from the system that are our introductory forms. I liked your summery of Chin Woo Moon school and the life of Huo Yuan Jia.
