    some were real figures

    even though the tales or legends may not be true.

    they were also associated with some of the styles of CMA.

    the wine drinking and meat eating monk "lu zi shen"

    he was with great strength

    his style was Shuai Jiao etc.

    ---

    many fighting styles and sets are associated with figures.

    I also like Wu Song

    I may be wrong, but the two axe guy you refer to could be the Black Whirlwind.

    The two axe guy is Li Kui.

    He is my favorite.

    I have a tattoo of him on my left thigh.

    Love the double axes.
    Mouth Boxers have not the testicular nor the spinal fortitude to be known.
    Hence they hide rather than be known as adults.

    you are thinking of Lu Da (a.k.a. Lu Zhishen). He is my favorite.

    A tale created by a famous storyteller from Yangzhou has Lu being the sworn brother of Zhou Tong, Yue Fei's military arts tutor.

    We actually did an Outlaws special issue

    Check out our 2002 July/August issue. It didn't go over that well. Not enough of our readers were familiar with Outlaws of the Marsh, but I always argue that it's a must-read for anyone serious about martial history and legend. It's the the cipher to kung fu cinema.

    We also carry Li Kwei's axes.

    I just finished the first volume of a 4 volume translation. It's taking me sometime, but it's well worth it.
