White Crane …. I think.
January 15, 2010
I knew it, I knew it …..
That it is a matter of time that someone somewhere would repackage White Crane for mass consumption with all that health-promoting and makes you feel good pitching.
Hey it happened in Singapore with Lama White Crane’s “Min Loi Chang” or “Needle in Cotton” sold by some “entrepreneur “ as alternative to Tai Chi, the housewife’s’ and not the martial version.
So do I like this senior citizen’s White Crane???
To answer that, I got to quote the wise words of Simon Cowell who, in one episode of “Britain Got Talent” asked rhetorically – “Do I like a dog that meows” after watching a contestant all made up like a punk rocker but sang an aria instead……
Okay okay, I got nothing against senior folks doing anything for health but this is too close for comfort ……. I guess.
So, before anyone thinks about tweaking traditions, think thrice before you act.
The outcome might not be what you expect.
