Drunken Style
OK, I work part time at a Chinese food restaurant. It suprises me how little the Chinese know of the Drunken Style traditions, not just the fighting as shown in this video, but its relationship to Taoist culture and the 8 Immortals.
Here we have the remnants of a style brought to us by people who allegedly became immortals.
And what do I hear from the Chinese? Jet Li is way better than Jackie Chan. Jet Li is "Real" Kung Fu.
What they forget is that Kung Fu is a process, one learns through repeated training, mastering every move and nuance. Then one forgets allowing the true Kung Fu to be materialized in ones own actions.
