I don't have a chance to talk about it a lot, but I love Chinese culture and I've been practicing traditional Chinese martial arts for over 10 years. I just won silver in a martial arts competition for a stick form, so I thought I'd share the video with you.
I also want to give a shoutout to my friend Byron Jacobs who has done A TON to promote Chinese martial arts and gave me some pointers before the competition. He's got a great YouTube channel which I recommend you check out https://www.youtube.com/@MuShinMartialCulture and an absolutely excellent book on Xing Yi Quan that I also recommend you pick up! https://www.mushinmartialculture.com/
