Destination: Malacca, Malaysia

Keep practicing your moves young grasshopper, and one day you may become a kung fu master! We purchased this beautifully detailed diagram from our friend Sherman, who began painting kung fu posters when the ones at the Malacca Ching Wu Athletic Association started falling apart. Copied from the old posters, the results were so neat that Sherman (who used to regularly attend the Athletic Association’s Seven Star Praying Mantis class) decided to start selling them in his store, too. A second-generation Malaysian—his grandfather came from the Hunan province in China—Sherman has been practicing martial arts since he was 17. He told us this poster depicts traditional set routines from the Peng Pu Quien, or “Stomping Set Boxing” style.
