I have to agree with your assessment wholeheartedly 5mman, there is undoubtedly no substitute for having the opportunity to explore the facts at hand while being in the thick of it, in your case living on the Mainland with access to the real histories and families of these martial art styles. I greatly appreciate your willingness to expand the playing field of credibility in putting forth information that is not at all common knowledge for people who do not live there or read/speak the languages. Personally, I have no skin in the game when it comes to lineage pride or thereabouts so I am very open to hearing stories and especially logical explanations and observations that can help put the puzzle together about the people who actually developed this unique fighting system. Something I can sink my teeth into, like deem sum.
