message: Currently, San Soo is listed near the top of the template as a "Term", together with the broad terms Kung fu and Wushu. Judging from the contents of the article San Soo, this makes little sense. San Soo is listed on List of Chinese martial arts, which is linked even nearer the top of the template.--Noe (talk) 16:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Is it really necessary for this same "template" to pop up on EVERY chinese martial arts page? It's pretty, but I think unnecessary. I don't see any reason Chinese martial arts should have a generic unmodifiable "pop-up" on every article whereas most other martial arts articles use some sort of modifiable template such as this.

message: I have added a new section to the template entitled "Legendary figures" to account for the fact that scholars have disproven Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng's respective links to Chinese martial arts. I at first wanted to remove them altogether, but I realize that many people still believe in the legend. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 20:09, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

message: worth to mention, as they are base for internal martial arts (Idot (talk) 01:48, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have to agree. Just because some wiki articles do not mention their connection doesn't mean there isn't one. For instance, as far back as circa 1300, two of the eight immortals were considered the creators of the Eight Section Brocade (this predates any association with Yue Fei). There is also a martial arts style known as "Drunken Eight Immortals" boxing. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 02:04, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

text: I have to disagree.  What is the point of having a link to an article that is not relevant to the topic of discussion. In this case, the link for the eight immortals articles have no information on martial arts or qigong.  The linked article is about the myth of the eight immortals.  So from a reader's perspective the link is not useful. In comparison both the  Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng articles contains explicit information relating to the martial arts.  Suggest you add the information the eight immortal links with the appropriate references then the link in the martial art template will be useful --Ottawakungfu (talk )02:33, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: my argumentsqigong - is a part of full knowledge of kung-fu, which has external part (Waigong) - froms of taolu and internal part (Neigong) which is qinong. for internal martial arts (like taichi) it is crucial. while for exeternal martial arts qigong is not mandatory, but often exists as secret methods of training (e.g. shaolin qigong, and without qigong you cannot be as tough as shaolin monk even you know external forms of shaolin perfectly)eight immortals are often mentioned in midevial daoist books about qigong which is known as internal alchemy (Idot (talk) 12:56, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have included reference to the Eight Immortals in the Chinese Martial Arts section and added a section on Chinese Martial Arts in the Eight Immortals section.  If you like to add the Eight Immortals to the template, go ahead at least now the information is relevant.  02:29, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm kind of suprised that living persons are present at Historical people. Maybe we could craft new sub-section famous artists/masters/actors or something. However living and historical descriptions of the same person appears as oxymoron to me. AgadaUrbanit (talk) 00:25, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

message: It's unfortunate that :File:Shi DeRu and Shi DeYang.jpg was deleted for being possibly unfree, as it had been in use for a long time and (I thought) was a great image.
I currently take classes with one of the individuals in that photo, Shi Deru, so I'm going to see if I can help get appropriate permissions for Wikipedia to continue using the image.
If anyone's done this before, I'd appreciate any tips, since this is my first time dealing with image copyright/permissions on Wikipedia.
