Modern Women Kung Fu

There is this 'feminine lifestyle philosopher' around the place, see - called Candice Oneida.

And she is going to end up turning the world as we know it, upside down.

This coming year is showing all the signs of being one in which upheaval will be evidenced, although it has probably been going on beneath the surface of things for some time now.

This is one of those times when ancient ideas, that usually lie quite dormant, will serve the wise very well. 

One ought not to make the mistake, of thinking that popular visions of things - especially ancient cultural ones - are exactly the same as the real things themselves! 
The legendary Yim Wing Chun, near enough, anyway

The Qing Dynasty at a certain point, learning that the Shaolin Monastery was developing new fighting strategies and techniques that were unparalleled - even though these were not necessarily intended to overcome the Qing particularly - nevertheless pre-emptively invaded, massacring almost all of the monks and burning the temple to the ground. One Shaolin priestess, Ng Mui, escaped, and eventually found a very young girl living in a wood, whom she trained to become the famous 'Yim Wing Chun,' the undefeated kung fu exponent who ended up becoming, of course, quite legendary. 

Today the art of Wing Chun Kung Fu is still highly popular around the whole world - from as far apart as from, for example, Scandinavia, all the way to the most southern parts of South America. But there is little in the popular versions that still retains the deeper philosophy that Ng Mui imparted to her first student. 
Modern-day Wing Chun Master Wan Kam Leung

You will find these elements, however, in the teachings of Candice Oneida. And, as with the first modern-era revolutionary of this mysterious dark art, namely Yim Wing Chun herself, Oneida will slowly, with circularity and with subtlety, upturn many apple-carts before too many people even realize that it has happened.
