The origins of Liuhebafa (also called Water Boxing) can be traced
back to the Daoist sage Chen Tuan (c. 871-989 A.D.). Chen is a
mystical figure whose advice and perspective was sought by ancient
Chinese Emperors. Liuhebafa was the last of the internal methods to
be taught outside China. Even inside China, Liuhebafa had an almost
mythic quality. Among the groups of inner circle students,
Liuhebafa was graduate study in the internal arts. Liuhebafa's Five
Character Secrets (of Li Dong Feng) are the original precepts of
this rare internal martial art known as Huayue Xinyi Liuhebafaquan.
Li Dong Feng discovered aged manuscripts of Chen Tuan, during an
expedition to Chen's ancient mountain home. Realizing the
importance of what he had found, Li remained on Mount Hua until he
mastered the material in the manuscripts. Li returned to his home
and then recorded all he had learned on Mount Hua in one hundred
and thirty-four verses now known as The Five Character Secrets of
Li Dong Feng. This is the only existing treatise on the original
principles of Liuhebafa. This book contains the original Chinese
treatise of Li Dong Feng, Pinyin Romanization of the Chinese
characters, word for word translation, literal translation,
interpretive translation and the author's commentary on the meaning
of each verse. There is more here than meets the eye. It is wise to
approach the Secrets with a beginner's mind. Imagine being beckoned
to sit by the fire. Lean a little closer to better hear the master
as he recites the lines that will open the doors of your mind and
heart.
Collection of crime-themed feature films and made-for-TV movies. In
'Kiss Daddy Goodnight' (1987) amoral thief Laura (Uma Thurman)
adopts various disguises in order to fleece various middle-aged men
out of their money. She teams up with musician Sid (Paul Dillon),
an old acquaintance, when she learns that her upstairs neighbour,
William, is the perfect victim. A poet, writer and connoisseur,
William would seem ripe for the taking, except for the fact that
Laura resembles his long-lost daughter, to whom he owes a murderous
debt... In 'View of Terror' (2003) a successful businesswoman
becomes the target of a stalker. Life is good for New York
restaurant owner Celeste (Shannen Doherty). With a successful
business, a great love-life, and a new uptown apartment with
panoramic views, things are certainly on the up. But the good life
turns sour when she becomes the victim of a stalker, responsible
for sending her suspicious packages and making disturbing phone
calls in the middle of the night. As the nightmare continues,
Celeste begins to suspect everyone - especially one of her
neighbours across the street, whose window looks into hers. 'Ruby's
Dream' (1982) stars Joe Pesci as Ruby Dennis, the small-time owner
of a bowling alley and nightclub in a working-class area of New
Jersey, who dreams of making it big in the glitzy world of Las
Vegas. In the pursuit of his dreams, however, he ends up losing a
lot more than he gains, and comes to realise what is truly
important in his life. In 'Shattered Silence' (1972) a woman is
tormented by mysterious phone calls. When Helen Connelly (Elizabeth
Ashley) starts receiving calls from her long-dead nephew, she's
naturally a little on edge. But when the people he criticises in
the calls start dying in suspicious accidents, panic sets in, and
fearing she's next on the supernatural hit-list, Helen seeks help
from her ex-husband (Ben Gazzara). 'The Mogul' (1984) stars Danny
DeVito as New York trucking owner Vic De Salvo. Sure that he can do
better than what's being served up on his local TV channel, Vic
sends his ideas off to the station boss. With his head already on
the block, the outgoing station programmer decides to throw a
spanner in the works by giving one of Vic's third-rate ideas the
green light. But when his new show becomes an overnight ratings
success, Vic soon finds himself the saviour of a corrupt industry.
In 'Who Killed Joy Morgan?' (1981) police inspector Lou Corbin
(Robert Culp) is assigned to investigate the brutal murder of a
