Kung Fu Fan

These are pictures of George doing the Kung Fu fan form. This form was practised by monks who were forbidden to carry weapons. Of course, the fans can inflict significant harm upon anyone foolish enough to challenge a practitioner. I believe the monks' fans were metal, but just hearing the fans snap through the air is enough to make one realize that cloth and bamboo can be pretty formidable too.

In deed the Kung Fu Fan was made of Steel. I myself do 2 different Steel Kung fu fan sets . Nothing likr the modern & new Tai chi fan. Kung fu fan dates back to the 14th centry ad.
