Yin Fu also became the equivalent of the secret service for the Emperor's circle, and was successful during battle testing.

Private Lineage stories are not history. Characters are added and removed, while other character relationships are altered.

In Part 1, we took one Professors approach to defining Martial Arts, during part 2, 2 Professors are going to give excellent arguments for other approaches.

Sometimes, the harder you try, the worse it gets. That can happen in many things, take 'creative art', someone takes an old bed box spring, welds an old bucket and a chair on it, gives it a name and paints it.. calls it art.

If you don't practice self-defense, its not martial arts at all could be another argument. Before you start swimming in the quicksand, lets take a moment to see the trap, BeFore we get in it.
