Just got back from Fujian Province, home of Fujian Kung Fu which of course is the direct ancestor of Karate. I went inside a Kung Fu museum here aaand --- was greatly disappointed. Now performances, not even any videos; just some basic information and photos... some of which were about other Southern Kung Fu styles that didn't come from Fujian (e.g. Wing Chun). <sigh> Although something tells me that even if there were a demonstration, it'd most likely be Modern Wushu; which is like Kung Fu mixed with acrobatics and gymnastics (what you typically see in Chinese Kung Fu movies) and are about as authentic in representing Kung Fu as the WWE is in representing Greco-Roman Wrestling.Much like the WWE, Wushu is something people enjoy as a form of stunt-based entertainment, but not as an authentic fighting form. But I didn't even see any of that... it was mostly a whole lot of nothing.
I'd say it was a WOFTAM, only that admission was free... so just WOFT.![]()
