There is a lot of folklore and
superstition concerning the internal arts; with stories about people seeking
immortality and mystical powers.
The reality is far more earthy and real.
Chinese legends, books and movies are filled with exponents who possess
incredible skill.
See Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon as one example.
Some of the stories may well be true.
Others seem unlikely.
Ultimately, the internal systems do
promise skills and abilities
not commonly found in other martial arts.
The mystery and secrecy surrounding these arts continues to fascinate the
seeker.
