Sun Lutang's mastery in Taijiquan, Bagua Zhang, and Xingyi Quan, his achievements, and influence. Sun Lutang, born in Hebei, mastered Xingyi Quan, Bagua Zhang, and Taiji Quan. His enlightening texts like "Xingyiquan Xue" and "Taijiquan Xue" shaped internal martial arts, resonating with Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist philosophies. Extended Essay: Great Kung Fu Masters From Chinese History – Master Sun Lutang Sun Lutang (1860–1933) stands as one of the most renowned and respected figures in the pantheon of Chinese martial arts. Born in a tumultuous era in Hebei Province, China, Sun’s life story is a testament to resilience, scholarship, and mastery of the internal Kung Fu traditions. His journey led him to excel in three pivotal internal styles—Xingyiquan (Form-Intent Boxing), Baguazhang (Eight Trigrams Palm), and Taijiquan (Grand Ultimate Boxing). Ultimately, he became most famous for synthesizing these martial arts and for forging the distinct Sun-style Taijiquan. Through his teaching, writing, and personal martial achievements, Sun Lutang left an indelible legacy that continues to inspire martial artists around the world. Sun’s early years were marked by hardship, which propelled him to refine both his body and mind. He began training in Xingyiquan under the tutelage of powerful instructors, delving deeply into the art’s fundamental principles of developing strong intent, explosive power, and fluid transitions. Over time, his insatiable curiosity led him to study Baguazhang, renowned for its circular stepping and palm changes. Sun saw in these two disciplines a profound link—an underlying internal strength guided by philosophy and mindfulness that transcended mere physical technique. His search for deeper understanding then guided him to Taijiquan. Unlike many martial artists who pursued external methods of combat, Sun Lutang prioritized internal cultivation—breathing, alignment, and harmonious energy flow. He combined the dynamic stepping of Baguazhang with the direct power of Xingyiquan and the soft, flowing techniques of Taijiquan to create an integrated system focused on martial efficiency and internal development. Eventually, this synthesis evolved into what is recognized today as Sun-style Taijiquan, characterized by agile footwork, high stances, and a powerful yet smooth flow of movement. What set Sun Lutang apart was not only his technical prowess but also his scholarly passion. He penned several seminal books, including “Xingyiquan Xue,” “Baguaquan Xue,” and “Taijiquan Xue,” in which he articulated the philosophical underpinnings of internal martial arts. Drawing from Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, he wove themes of moral virtue, self-cultivation, and respect for nature into the practice of combat and self-defense. By doing so, Sun underscored that true mastery demanded the cultivation of character just as much as the perfection of physical technique. Today, Sun Lutang’s name remains synonymous with the concept of “internal power” in Kung Fu. His influence resonates in martial arts schools across the globe, where practitioners continue to study and benefit from the holistic wisdom he brought to Xingyiquan, Baguazhang, and Taijiquan. Beyond the realm of combat, Sun Lutang’s life reminds us that discipline, ethical values, and the endless pursuit of knowledge can serve as guiding beacons for personal growth. Through the centuries, his legacy persists—an elegant bridge between the physical and the spiritual, and a constant reminder of the profound depth that Chinese martial arts can offer to the dedicated student.

This is a noodle girl I drew myself this morning. I haven't been active here. Reason being I was married a few years ago. And the marraige lasted more than two years before she divorced me.

Might give more updates on another post on how I'm doing, but let's get back to my gal for now. I was inspired by those OCs that have very bright, neon colors. I think they're awesome and I wanted to take a jab at it myself.

Lastly I'll add some backstory to her and flesh her out if you guys like her enough. Till then I REALLY hope you enjoy her. And I'll see you tomorrow! ❤

Ip Man: Born in Foshan, Guangdong Province, Ip Man (Yip Man) carried Wing Tsun into modern times. The Shaolin Nun and Her Revolutionary Creation Legend tells us that during the volatile period of China’s Ming-Qing dynastic transition, there lived an exceptional Shaolin Nun named Wu Mei Shi Tai, more commonly known as Ng Mui, or “Five Plums Nun.” She was a scholar of the body, combat, and nature itself. Observing the fluid, evasive grace of the Crane and the coiled, unpredictable precision of the Snake, she conceived a new fighting method that prioritized subtlety over brute force. Where many Shaolin styles relied on extended stances, sweeping kicks, and powerful external strikes, Ng Mui envisioned a system that leveraged angles, economy of motion, and explosive close-range techniques. Her brainchild, eventually known as Wing Tsun (also spelled Wing Chun or Ving Tsun), was characterized by compact footwork, rapid chain-punching, and the strategic use of the practitioner’s centerline. By maintaining efficiency and focusing on deflections rather than meeting force head-on, Wing Tsun practitioners could overwhelm larger or stronger opponents in seconds. A Legacy Passed Down Through Generations From Ng Mui, the story continues through her disciples—most famously Yim Wing Chun, the young woman who gave her name to the system. Legend says that Yim Wing Chun mastered Ng Mui’s art to ward off an unwanted suitor and later passed her knowledge to her husband, thus sparking a chain of transmissions that would flourish across Southern China. Over the centuries, Wing Tsun’s reputation rose steadily. It was carefully preserved by a series of devoted masters, each adding subtle refinements but always retaining the core principles: centerline control, simultaneous offense and defense, and fluid, close-quarters technique. Eventually, it made its way into the capable hands of Grandmaster Ip Man, the man who would revolutionize and popularize the art on a global stage. Ip Man: The Global Ambassador of Wing Tsun Born in Foshan, Guangdong Province, Ip Man (also known as Yip Man) carried Wing Tsun into modern times. After moving to Hong Kong in the 1950s, he began teaching publicly, helping to spread the system far beyond China's borders. Among his legendary students was Bruce Lee, who would later transform global cinema and further galvanize interest in Chinese martial arts. Yet, the story doesn’t end with Bruce Lee. Ip Man continued to teach, refine, and codify Wing Tsun well into his later years, taking on a select group of close disciples. Rumor and folklore often swirl around who exactly was Ip Man’s “last student.” Some accounts name different individuals, each with their own compelling claims. However, all who consider themselves part of Ip Man’s final era of teaching carry a piece of that original wisdom—preserving a living link to the great Grandmaster. The Rise of the ‘Wing Tsun King’ In the constellation of Ip Man’s final cohort of disciples, there emerged one who would come to be known as the “Wing Tsun King.” This individual earned the title not merely for continued loyalty to Grandmaster Ip Man, but for embodying the purest form of Wing Tsun theory and application—honoring its foundational lineage while introducing innovative teaching methods to contemporary audiences. In adopting the methods of Ng Mui’s snake and crane theory, the “Wing Tsun King” refined the art’s close-quarters explosiveness and helped illustrate the system’s adaptability to real-world self-defense. Under his tutelage, students learn to bridge distance swiftly, coordinate reflexes to utilize both offense and defense simultaneously and neutralize threats decisively—often before an opponent even realizes the fight has begun. The Lasting Impact and Continued Evolution Despite its profound heritage, Wing Tsun remains a living tradition.

Art from back when I was like 14/15 and could draw everything separate, but not together—

Eg. hands look good by themselves, random faces can be found plastered all over my notebooks, and you’ll see a few scattered clothes here and there, but piece them all together?? It’s like three puzzles mixed and I’m building with just a vague memory of what the outcome is supposed to look like.

When I was younger I also had a tendency to rush things

Heh
