"The exercising of weapons putteth away aches, griefs, and diseases, it increaseth strength and sharpeneth the wits, it giveth a perfect judgment, it expelleth melancholy, choleric, and evil conceits, it keepeth a man in breath, in perfect healthe, and long life." – George Silver (1599)

White Eyebrow

Man, that’s a wicked looking style. Legend has it that its creator, the Taoist Bak Mei (lit. “White Eyebrow,”) was one of the Five Elders who escaped the destruction of the Shaolin temple, only to betray the surviving monks to the Qing Dynasty. There are competing versions of this story.

These are some well named White Eyebrow forms – Ding Jeung (18 Crazy Monks) and Sub-Baat Moi Kiu (18 Ghost Bridges).

Yeah, I love those form names. 18 Ghost Bridges? Where do I sign up? If White Eyebrow weren’t so hard to learn, I swear every kungfu movie villain ever would be played by an actor doing White Eyebrow.
