There is a review found at: http://www.wu-jing.org/dramas/master_of_taichi.php Did not try to download the files though (not tech savvy enough to know if it is safe to do so).

Ms. Mai learned Fu style baguazhang from Fu Yonghui (I think she did wushu, too, though).

I don't see that as being in the same class as true martial arts. Wushu dancers tend to be great acrobats, true, but they're hardly warriors.

Doesn't mean they carry on with it afterwards, but they do get some skills, I guess. @Eastpaw – no, but when wushu started becoming mainstream, Hollywood actors got intensive martial arts training for their films, just like Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburn etc got trained up for the Matrix films.

According to the writeup on YouTube, this clip was shot in the early 1980s on Super-8 film (not that I know what that means...) Bow Sim Mark really is a master, she does this so well; on the other hand, the version that Chow Yun Fat performs in <em>CTHD</em> is also graceful, but more vigorous and energetic; the style itself is intrinsically graceful, perhaps! I'm still looking for that clip from<em>CTHD</em>; if I find it, I'll put the two side by side for comparison. Glad you like the site's name, I think it captures the sense of what I'm trying to do.... Hi Ivan,

So gracefully executed. The film quality looks old. Was that an early clip or just film effects? BTW, "jianghu 2.0" is a really cool name! So retro and modern at the same time. Wow.
