and To Magik,

I'd like to say, I am not sure this had anything to do with Communism. They weren't nice to people, it is true. there was always people who exploit the loopholes in law, lots backstabs, violence and corruption. but this is really a seperate matter from the rise and fall of the Martial Arts.
As usual I did a lousey job of making my point [img]smile.gif[/img] What I ment was it seems to me that the arts, martial or otherwise were more...well all around and flourishing before the Communist switch thing, I have not seen anyting nealry as beautiful from the recent culture as from the past history. Again, not being into asian culture (and I have tried to generate an interest)I have really neglected my studies of that part of the world.

Anyhoo sorry for the confusion
