yes i totally agreed with what you say. Now a days the "art" is more refer to dancing style, no value at all.Just look at the rubber blaze or "Knife" they used in the tournement and you know what i mean.But i believed the true martial still can be found taiwan!
During the Cultural Revolution (read: Demolition), the communists persecuted many of China's martial artists, especially those that were seen as strongly tied to traditional values. Those who survived went into hiding or disguised their real skills. Only in the past 10 years, the remaining masters and their arts started to resurface again. Unfortunately by then, the Communist government has supplanted the martial art community with watered-down Wushu and lesser 'masters'.
the two man drill is the traditional wu xing pow
