  beautiful film...lovely music and people, especially the masters! when the storm comes, and the rain falls, the schools flood.. we will all help each other to preserve the martial arts of peace. patience and love and if we fail, no worries.. the martial arts will re-invent themselves like tears for fears..

  This is a wonderful film. I myself just started to learn kung fu at the age of 30 and to see the life long dedication to learning is amazing. That grand masters are still learning shows just how little any one individual can know. Very fascinating, thank you for making this.

  The best documentary ever made about the traditional art of Kung-Fu. Nothing to do with the fake and hollow styles that some so call "masters" and "grand masters" try to sell us today. Kung-Fu is not a sport or a collection of useless circus tricks like some people want us to believe, is not something you can buy. Is something you can only achieve with hard work. It's a real martial art, the best of all. Thanks guys and keep up the good work.

  Este documentário foi o melhor que ja vi... Nada ate a data nada se compara a isto. Obrigado, acho que e o minimo que posso dizer. Hoje em dia ja ninguem comnhece Kung fu tradicional so wushu e pensao que e o verdadeiro kung fu, quando na realidade isso nem sequer esta perto da verdade, o kung fu e uma maneira de viver, uma forma de estar... Hoje em dia a art ja nao existe somente a merda ficou... Em vinte anos desaparece-ra por completo, e isso e a realidade. obrigado por este documentario pois foi desde longe o mais honesto de todos

  In some ways, this film reminds me of the old fisherman, Santiago, in Hemingway's final work, The Old Man and the Sea ... I'm one of those who believes Hemingway despair about the future [and longing the world to return to old ways, to regain lost toughness of individuals] is what drove him to take his life. The old ways might look like they are threatened, but that is a fallacy: old weaker ways might die; but stronger old ways always adapt, persevere and excel ... creation is a continual helical staircase that forces us to twist and climb in order to purify all existence ... as a Christian, I believe in a brand new heights of creation are enabled by the hope of Christ's Resurrection; genuine lasting strength is a matter of finding the Dao, finding God's will!

  What I saw in this documentary, it's what my Master, Dr. Yang Jwing Ming have been told me in the last 18 years, and it reinforce the responsibility of all of us to do our best in order to preserve this treasure. Thank you very much for this beautiful documentary, from my heart.

  As a current practitioner of Mizongluohan Gongfu, this is a wonderful film. I've wanted to learn gongfu since I was 5, but the biggest problem for me was finding a teacher. Studios for karate and Taekwondo are everywhere, but gongfu studios are like one in a million. I think it's a beautiful kind of martial arts, but unfortunately it's not very widespread.

  As a filmmaker and martial arts practioner, I found this documentary very inspirational, educational and enlightening. I feel as though this film has left me with a responsibility as a martial artist preserve the arts that i know and spread the culture. I'm am also intruiged to know more and see more!! Many thanks to Patrick Daly and the crew behind the production!

  The first art that is shown is not called "Tai Qigong" (太氣功) as it is written in the subtitle. It's Taijigong 太極功 which is another word for Taijiquan plus weapons plus all the other exercises that make up the whole system. It's used to describe the complete system of Taiji. Sometimes it's used to describe poficiency in the complete system. So someone who has high achievement in the art of Taiji has Taijigong.

  This film is, hands down, the most amazing documentary about Chinese Kung Fu in the world! I am so glad this film has been made... It's a true gem!

  This is the first film of it's kind, that really shows the humanity of a Kung Fu Master. I am really interested to see how people respond to this film.
