Request for assistance
I am doing research for an upcoming book and would be grateful for help tracking down martial artists with unusual skills or abilities.
Examples include ¡V
- Chi-Kung practitioners able to demonstrate the use of chi
- Martial artists able to perform extra-ordinary acts
- Those that involve the supernatural in their art (such as possession, healing, calling on spirits to assist etc.)
- Little known fighting arts
Although I have had some success so far, I really would appreciate any help members of this forum could give. As you can imagine, locating the sort of people the book is about is proving somewhat difficult (the Yellow Pages has no listing for Martial Arts - Rare and Unusual! ), and most of those we have interviewed keep a low profile. As I¡¦ve pretty much exhausted my own list of contacts in Taiwan, China, and Japan I appeal to you, my fellow martial artists, for help!
Oh, for the record, I¡¦m not the author, just a researcher.
Thanks for your time,
Guy
