Bái Méi (白 眉)/ Bak Mei knew Fāng Shìyù (方 世玉)/ Fong Sai-Yuk since the latter was born. Bái Méi (白 眉)/ Bak Mei shall even have taught him. So Bái Méi (白 眉)/ Bak Mei knew the weaknesses of Fāng Shìyù (方 世玉)/ Fong Sai-Yuk. In their final duel, when Bái Méi (白 眉)/ […]

Since the days of the discussion on Peak Oil, I wondered how to comprehensibly explain this issue. So Martin Armstrong meanwhile did beat me to it: “Energy is the economy.” So short and simple, yet accurate! Energy is the economy! Because all branches of the economy depend on energy and hence on the energy branch! With […]

Only what is successful is Wing-Chun. Said at least Chris from the Martial Development blog. While Wong Shun-Leung said, anything a Wing-Chun man does is Wing-Chun. Thus did at least Chris quote him. In the blog post above that comment (the other comments are only the on the Martial Development blog usual flame war), Chris […]

The Creationists in still the same documentary series gave in to Reverend Charles Darwin in each and every point of his theory. They even supported his evolution “theory” with examples. A main example were the iguanas on the Galapagos Islands. There live iguanas, that are exactly like iguanas elsewhere, besides the sea iguana, that lives […]

Many conflicts can be resolved by an apology at the right time. You’ve probably seen in martial arts movies how the martial arts masters tried this first.

Once more, I have to criticize Martin Armstrong. On the one hand, he correctly writes: “This is exactly how republics rot from within. Not from invasion. Not from foreign armies. From corruption, money, lobbying, intimidation, and politicians who increasingly represent outside interests before their own citizens.” So here he names the real culprits! Exactly the […]

If you read this article series, then Bái Méi (白 眉)/ Bak Mei meanwhile is known to you as a traitor and murderer. Yet he’s also known as a folk hero and one of the Five Ancestors of the Southern Shàolín (少林) group of martial arts. So you could wonder how a traitor and murderer […]

Dementia seems to afflict me. Only as I recently did read the word solipsism, I did remember it. Solipsism describes the world outlook that nobody and nothing else than yourself exists at all. Philosophers deem this to be a very stupid world outlook. It plays a role in my article “Intent! — Manifest! — Get […]

Zhì Shàn (至 善)/ Gee Sin shall have been a Shàolín (少林) Monk and probably Abbot, Wǔ Méi (伍 枚)/ Ng Mui shall have been a Buddhist Nun, Miáo Xiǎn (苗 顯)/ Miu Hin shall have been a Buddhist layman, Bái Méi (白 眉)/ Bak Mei and Féng Dàodé (馮 道德)/ Fung Do-Dak shall have […]

While I’m writing a whole article series on the mythology of the Southern Shàolín (少林) Style, I also did read a blog post about what is taught in Wing-Chun, a martial art, which I repeatedly mention in my article series. So I found that blog post intriguing and even more so because that blog post made […]
