so this was the first one. i put the whites in the dryer, looked up and saw this. i was taken immediately since learning kung-fu would be awesome. yet i think i have payed too much to turn away from ads and commit my time to something as hard to learn as kung-fu. still, i am extremely curious about the image and how it ties into kung-fu. is this what a man who wants to learn about kung-fu looks like? is this what the teacher looks like? is carrying stuff on a long stick like that the first step in learning kung-fu? i was intrigued to say the least.
