1. If China's Imperial family came to America, how would martial artist treat them? How would they treat the emperor himself?





2. And what degree of dignity wold be accorded to China's current succession Emperor being a traditional and cultural figure?





While it is said that martial arts comes from India and the Shao Lin Temple. Most traditionalist accords the form of martial arts that we know as being from China. Martial arts, then spread to Okinawa and then to Japan. Martial arts came to Hawaii, where China's Imperial family resides, and to California, where the rest of the clan resides.





It is the Chinese Chi that is said as being responsible for the practice of martial arts and China's current succession emperor's family heritage goes directly back to the Chi!





The Chi is equated with the chuan and the Emperor himself, so should martial artist pay respects to China's emperor and his family's lineage as the foundation of all Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Okinawan martial arts?

If the Imperial family needed some help in my country i think it would be interesting to help them, it would have nothign to do with Martial Arts, I would help them as much as i would help any other person who asked for help, if you trace back anyoned history and family line im sure there will be someone who had a great significance on the world we live in now so it doesnt matter





If they start going on about how they are responsible for martial arts, bla bla bla, I probably would be LESS likely to help them
Reply:No, there should be no obligation at all. There are so many different styles of martial arts, some of which develpoed simultaniously in various parts of Asia, some developed in the States in later years, Brazil, the Phillipines, so many styles. Okinawa was very early in the disiplines, %26amp; developed much of the weapons training from old farm tools that is still taught today. The Chinese can claim no exclusiveness at all, too widespread.


We do not have royalty in America, as any one else, they should be respected as humans, but above anyone else, no.
Reply:I dont 'pay' respect to anyone, nobody 'deserves' respect.





Respect is earned in the present with deeds and actions.





the past is long dead and buried and the future never comes.





what have these people done, now, in the present that would affect my opinion of them? considering i have also never met them? and probably never will?





i know many people who i give much respect to, people who live true to their word, proven time and time again by thier actions in the present.
Reply:China's Imperial family would more than likely be treated with great respect, but also equally. I don't think going to America as Martial Arts experts will change a lot though, no disrespect, afterall, if it were up to me, I would be more than interested to hear lots about the Imperial Family and what their thoughts and views are on themselves and all countries around the world, cheers.
