Ji Juan Cheng and Raymond Tower |

There were articles by a famous Chinese wushu master Ji Juan Cheng, who is the Honorary President and the main adviser of The Wushu Federation. A great number of western masters agree over the idea that only turning to the origins, heritage of the Oriental culture- the traditional martial art, seeing Wushu as whole system in particular can revive it.

The Japanese people are great Karate, Aikido and other widely-spread martial artists. When they learned that there was a genuine technique of the traditional Wushu in China, they became frequent visitors at professor Ma Menta's house. Many of them were interested in using wooden staff techniques, others wanted to picture complexes, but... Ma Menta had always politely declined it. Nowadays information about the famous Tongbei school of the Ma family can be easily found in the Internet.
