  The Tai Chi Master (2005)
After learning about a powerful style of kung fu known as Tai Chi and only taught to members of the Chan family, kung fu practitioner Yu-qian sneaks into the training area in disguise to watch the clan master, Chan Ching-ying (Yue Hoi) at work.
As pressure increases on Master Chan to fight with the lord, Yu-qian puts his newfound kung fu expertise to use in a multi-level, pagoda-style match arranged by a Qing princess who is attracted to him.
This, however, is a welcome chance to see Chinese television production and kung fu screen fighting at their best and in a form where you can actually follow along.

 Kungfu Magazine: E-Zine Feature Article
In some places in the States, kung fu is still referred to as "Chinese Karate." There was even a men's cologne called "Hi Karate" that - for advertisement - showed women swooning before men wearing this cologne as a frenzy of karate chops and screams echoed in the background.
This was probably due to the stigma of kung fu in the U.S. The press is eager to support the same sort of fund-raising activities from Tibetan Buddhism.
Yet the kung fu and behavior is often unbefitting of a true Shaolin representative, so while their intentions may be earnest, it often hurts the Shaolin name.

You’ve got two, bitter, single women, each with a troubled past, who eventually form a bond, despite their differences.
Through my experiences with Korean cinema, I have found that even if a film is bad in terms of plot, it at least tends to have an aesthetically appealing look.
Unfortunately, “301, 302” was made in 1995, a time before the wonderful era that we have all come to associate with when thinking of the Korean cinema boom.

Even though my practice of martial arts had ended long before the advent of "Kung Fu", the image of the calm martial arts master stayed with me and was exemplified in that wandering Shaolin Monk.
Although I still enjoy watching "Kung Fu" and thrive on the movies of Jet Li, I've come to realize Gong Fu is more than an image; it is "hard work", but hard work with a lasting and profound reward.
It is indeed the practice of a lifetime but also a practice that may hold incredible revelations in a single movement or breath.
