videos: BBC's way of the warrior

this is something of a curiousity.

i came across a 5-part series of videos on YouTube that apparently is a digitized version of a BBC documentary on internal Chinese martial arts called Way of the Warrior. it covers tai chi, xing yi, and bagua in taiwan. it focuses on one sifu named Hung I Hsiang. from the looks of it, it's from the 1970s.

now that i've been learning kung fu for a little while, it's interesting to compare what i've been learning with what has been detailed by Western media. some of it is consistent, some not. i'm guessing that the Western media portrayal has some fallacies and fabrications being foisted upon its audiences--intentionally or unintentionally, from sources of various veracity translated by media purveyors of varying knowledge for audiences of various gullibility, all with varying degrees of judgment, motivation, and skill. it's interesting.

of course, i could be completely wrong.
