Thus proving once again that even though there may be snow on the roof, there can still be fire in the furnace! LOL

Ba men it is more realistic than I thought
Still can't work out which one is u

I would still like to see you doing something Chinese
At least without armour

I'd like to see him doing anything without armour.

As for witch is the best example of chengs teaching that is hard to say
They all had different agendas

Malaysia was very martial because Chinese lives were at stake at that time
Not only did chengs people take on shaolin but Silat and Mauy Thai practicioners in real life situations

Nigel Sutton's article 1994 http://zhong-ding.com/index.php/article ... -east-asia

"The first two teachers to bring Cheng style Tai Chi to the region were Huang Hsing Hsien and Yue Shu Ting who had both come from China via Taiwan. In pro-Communist China they had both served as Guomindang officials and it was Yue who took Huang to meet Cheng Man Ching in Taiwan. Both Yue and Huang had originally studied Shaolin arts and owed their faith in Tai Chi to having been bested by Cheng in challenges, Huang was the first to arrive and he settled in Singapore, while Yue arriving a year later, started teaching in Penang in the north. Both teachers established their reputation not by extolling the health benefits of the art, nor by engaging in intellectual discussion, but by convincing the local martial artists that Tai Chi was a viable and effective art. It is worth noting that nearly all of Yue's leading students came from a background in other arts and all gave them up to practise Tai Chi."
CMC bested these two guys.
