A lot of Chinese martial arts films were based on Chinese martial arts novels. And these novels created a world of putting history, calligraphy, and martial arts into one.

Better to be called something positive and inspirational than something negative.

Martial art is a form of expression, an expression from your inner self to your hands and legs.

They have taken the idea of nonharming, of gentleness toward the earth, to a very radical level. Even the weeds are not enemies.
