If you are interested in the connections between Chinese Martial Arts and Karate as
developed in Okinawa, I recommend you take a look at this event
http://www.MartialArtsGathering.com/Many Chinese Masters will be demonstrating and teaching aspects of their
Southern Kung-Fu systems in a series of hands-on workshops over the course of 3 days.
Many flavors of White Crane, Five Ancestor Fist, Taizu Boxing, and many others will be represented.
I hope to see you there,
Russ Smith
