Choy Li Fut (1979) by Xenorama, the Podcast of Heroes and Monsters
In which X7 reveals his chosen martial art, some history of it and a movie which is a fair representation of the fighting style. Choy Li Fut is one of the most popular kung fu styles in the world, but it is not very well represented on the big or small screen. This is a good movie, and has a lot of the style in it. It has some other shenanigans as well, but overall it is a pretty fun movie. According to Bruce Lee:[6] Choy Li Fut is the most effective system that I've seen for fighting more than one person. [It] is one of the most difficult styles to attack and defend against. Choy Li Fut is the only style [of kung fu] that traveled to Thailand to fight the Thai boxers and hadn't lost.
Kristoffer Lawson@sleepyfox the fantastic thing is how different each dojo can be. So when a sensei says ‘This is how you do it in #aikido’ I tend to now take it with a pinch of salt. At the same time I’ve learnt something from every one of the 38 dojos I visited.
I can also count 10 dojos of other arts (#karate x 3, #judo, #hapkido, #kobujutsu, #iaido, #ChoyLiFut, #HEMA, #bujinkan). Also 3 separate clubs that were physically in the same dojo as one of the others (2x #DaitoRyu, 1 Karate). AMA :D
