Re: OT: Western v. Eastern martial arts
In agreement with K's post (and I suppose a little implicit disagreement with a bit of Endo's) a lot of Wu Shu martial arts stuff (maybe its specific to Wu Shu though) is just 'show'.
I have a hard time believing that a guy hopping on his butt while swinging a nine-link whip around underneath it has any practical application in an actual confrontation (unless its a break-dancing confrontation).
