Eh... wushu pretty much notates PRC based performance oriented material nowadays.Originally Posted by Shaolin
To parrot TenTigers I never heard wushu when I was in China (mainland), San Fran or locally. From native speakers...
The ONLY time I hear "Chuan Fa" is from the Ken(m)po crowd.

I agree, that's why we're trying to get away from styles and just call it martial arts.
randomness is key
Alright...I was actually trying to discuss actual forms and techniques...you know, trying not to fuel fires for once. Guess that didn't work. Oh well. I'll just try my discussion elsewhere.

what exactly does Han suki mean? What language, dialect is it? Do you have the hanzi/kanji for it?

Good question, I have heard one person say that it translates to "small opening" talking about how the form creates larger openings in an opponents guard.
To be honest, if the name came from Prof. Chow, it may not have a literal meaning. Prof. Chow called his system "Kara-Ho", which he got in a dream, but karaho is a slang term in spanish for something derogatory.
