Here's a cool doc!

Thanks for posting this!

 

I do find it kind of funny that even modern media kinda lumps everything together in "kung fu". Like "deadliest kung fu weapon" as if back in ancient China everyone recognized a single weapon as the peak of deadliness, and only a single style of fighting was recognized as "kung fu" or something like that

 

But it's still fun, thanks!

kung fu

   /ˈkʌŋ ˈfu, ˈkʊŋ/ Show Spelled[kuhng foo, koong] Show IPA

–noun

an ancient Chinese method of self-defense by striking blows at vulnerable areas of an attacker's body using fluid movements of the hands and legs.

Use kung fu in a Sentence

See images of kung fu

Search kung fu on the Web

Origin:

< Chin gōngfú lit., skill

 

 

 

 

 

So it basically means the skill of self defense, which has no style!

 

The deadliest weapon in kung fu is the skill of the practitioner, regardless of what physical tools one possesses, the skill or lack thereof to use them overrides their perceived lethality.

 

 

A fast enough and well enough coordinated body is deadlier than an assault riffle in the hands of a professional marksman.

 

To forget this is to forget where personal power truly comes from.

Well the Number 1 exotic deadliest weapon of China is featured in this Shaw Brothers movie:

The Flying Guillotine.

 

I saw one other Flying Guillotine martial arts flick which was excellent. Sure it's cheesy -- and zany -- and that's the point -- total absurdity.
