In this 4th episode of my YouTube podcast I got a chance to sit down with Jason Read who has authored three books on Chinese magick from the Maoshan tradition. A cryptolinguist by training, Jason has married into his tradition. Additionally, Jason is a former martial artist and has experience in Choy Li Fut, Wing Chun, and Chen Taijiquan. We discuss how martial arts forms may have originated from shen gong practice of various martial deities and how many of them were intended for assassination of Manchu officials.
