It is particularly true of cuisine that some dishes lose their taste when are not served in the original language. Who would want to eat pasta with the names translated into Norwegian?

Wing Chun just seems to taste better in Cantonese. Watching the recent big movie Yip Man I was struck at how strange the techniques and names sounded in Mandarin. In this DVD series we have a Southern Boxing champion who also coaches some full contact winners. Not exactly elegant his approach has the merit of being forthright. The one distraction is his classes’ applauds after each demo. Not training DVDs on the forms but more breakdowns and applications from someone who’s done the work. In this case the “Actual Combat” refers to the fire of competitions and sparring. Some good ideas.
