The PRC..peoples republic of China;
is controlled by the CPC..Communist Party of China.
There have been numerous blog-martial-topic sites mentioning
LiuHe BaFa or water-boxing; the majority are without
merit due to ignorance on the subjects, gossip, speculation, teacher's dogma, entrenched philosophy, embedded malice, and
rejection of all alternatives to support themselves and their school as being 'authentic'.
There has also been 'personalized' web-sites, self-seeking
that they are either knowledgeable....or self-promoting that they are 'truely' the legitimate, lineage resource on these subjects.
Sometimes these bloggers also attempt to highjack information websites such as wikipedia, but as there are so many clones
in diverse languages, their one-sided promotion is fortunately not equally distributed.
Fortunately, the PRC and Chinese language websites
retain some truths and
some honest opinions for comparison. However, they
are sometimes plagued by nationalism, and anti-western revenge.
PRC sites also can offer some of the most stubborn,
unsubstantiated history, and some of the worst racial attacks against non-chinese doubters. There is a tendency towards 'only
chinese know the truth' imperialism.
There have also been a few blog-sites mentioning
LiuHe BaFa or 'water-boxing'
and most of these should be honored for attempting
to ellucidate these subjects.
Ocassionally, there is also a web-blog that is interested
only in promoting the principle concepts and the underlying thoughts that went into the exercises or can be derived from them.
Personally, I have recorded this approach in my own records and files.
There exist also martial arts blogs which generally
contain the completely ignorant making an honest query as to what LHBF is and is water-style the same. Depending on
the blog site, this usually attracts either a MA officinato who walks all over the query or the obediant student who does
the same as a zealot of whatever from whomever was his teacher. It becomes something of a headache and few reputable,
knowledgable teachers ever enter into the war or words.
