Did Karate really originate in the Okinawa region of Japan? @Trevoke that's the story and I'm sticking with it. Sadly, I have heard non-martial-artist native Chinese speakers use "gong fu" the way Americans use "karate" or "gong fu" to mean "martial arts". Kids there grow up wanting to be computer programmers these days. Lots of these traditions are disappearing, fast. These days, I hear old school martial artists use simply "fu", as a code-word for the old meaning of "gong fu". |

Are there good alternatives to wood for weapons? Purple Heart will do custom wasters and bokken out of some interesting materials. |

Will engraving a staff made of white waxwood compromise its integrity? @DaveLiepmann Yes. You're confusing correlation with causality. Framing it as, "In my personal experience having used my stick with lots of force many times, these etchings creates a lot of problems." That gives your words more credibility than the assumed credibility in your present words. |

Will engraving a staff made of white waxwood compromise its integrity? @DaveLiepmann Would you mind adding that bit to your answer. I find personal experience useful, however your phrasing makes it sound as if you are pulling from authoritative sources. |

Will engraving a staff made of white waxwood compromise its integrity? @Trevoke I'd definitely ask the Armor Archive folks about structural integrity (and wood grain, etc). A. Dill is a good person to ask, and he has contacts elsewhere. You might be able to protect the grain from splintering by using resin to fill in the engraving. |

Will engraving a staff made of white waxwood compromise its integrity? Can you describe your source? Some research, or personal experience, or your imagination? |

What does it mean to “uproot” someone in tai chi? The reason this will "do" for now: if you create these rigid boxes in your mind to understand the art of strategy, those become structure easily exploitable by someone who wants to take advantage. |

What does it mean to “uproot” someone in tai chi? Someone once said on Bullshido that Chinese martial art is a bunch of sucker punches. That's high praise. |
