This came to my attention via the Kung Fu Tea blog.
Huo Yuanjia was a famous Chinese martial artist who was active around the turn of the 20th century. Some of his exploits were the subject of the Jet Li film, Fearless.
Huo was one of the founders of the Jingwu (Chin Woo) Athletic Association, which still exists today and remains his legacy.
Here is a link to a photo essay from Xinhuanet, which focuses on Huo Jing Hong, a fifth generation descendant and inheritor of Huo's system. Enjoy.
