Kungfuology met up with Taiji teacher Rose Oliver from the Double Dragon Alliance. As Rose explains in part one, Double Dragon help people to come to China and take part in all kinds of cultural exchanges with the focus on kung fu.

After taking one of their Shanghai based teachers, Master Wu Mao Gui, to the UK for seminars, Rose got to see his Tong Bei Quan in detail and started to train it herself. We catch up with them in Shanghai's People's Park on a sweltering summer afternoon for a vidcast set to the sound of cicadas.

Kungfuology staffer Andy Best recently happened upon a box of 90 Shaw movies in his local store. Follow this feature as Andy 'live-blogs' one a week. Spoiler alert!

Round two, and there's the bell. A quick glance at the box shows the next movie's title, Miss 0. Looks like a potential false start. Let's pop in the disc and see. Feeling good today, finally got my VISA, another year all tied up. And ... yes ... Miss 0, Gold Dig Films 1978. Chow Yun Fat in modern day Hong Kong and a girl with memory loss. A quick sweep of the net doesn't reveal any apparent Shaw connection.

We move onto the next and it's another dissapointment but of a slightly more complex nature ...
