Many of the well known styles including the bodyguard style were developed during war time. A time when the Qing dynasty where invading eastern Turkestan. Which is now called Xin Jiang (New Territory), up until then China stopped at the Great Wall. So we find that a lot of Chinese Styles originated with the Hui Chinese in places like Hebei The origins given here for the well known Chinese martial arts styles are simplified.

I guess I can see the art evolving in a better way because in the older days when people had to use their skill many time it resulted in death. I guess kind of the old gun fight at OK corral or a gangster shoot out in America. The bottom line was that people died. Today what is seen mostly is one man pounding the livin crap out of the other on the ground. I don’t know if people are getting the right message. But this is my personal opinion. As an instructor I have always instilled in my students that Life itself may be the biggest and most dangerous opponent they may run into. Being strong of mind, body and spirit is probably the best defense we can have. I’m going to keep it simple because I can go on with this forever, but I won’t. Yes you did a wonderful job explaining the basics that can take over a decade to truely understand. I thank you for this great blog and you will be seeing more of me if you allow. Oss..
