[edit] Image
Any suggestions on a better image? Would be nice with something more martial arts oriented involving people.
I like the characteristic Shaolin monk, looks good as an image, colorful and such. Something like this:
...but less cluttered with more focus and a better setup and environment. - Wintran (talk) 14:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Colors
I guess it would look best if the colors match the image we choose. Please suggest color-changes here. - Wintran (talk) 14:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] People
I feel that Yue Fei and Yip Man should be added to the People section at the very least; if people as far back as Bodhidharma goes up there, Yue Fei should as well; after all, he did contribute to many Chinese martial arts, including Northern Praying Mantis. As for Yip Man, Wing Chun would've long disappeared without him. --Ohnobananas (talk) 17:07, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
I added Dong Haichuan to the historical people section. Maintainerzero 21:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
The inclusion of a list of notable Chinese Martial Artists in this template will have the same problem as those encounter in the List of Famous Martial Artists. The list will be too long to be useful if we are not selective. Here are my ideas on inclusion: 1) They have to be notable but not just in their own style but famous in general. (2) They need to have a good Wiki article that has proper references and not just a stub. You can check the talk page on Chinese Martial Arts for additional criteria. If you like to add a link, please consider adding the name to the list of famous wushu / chines marital artists. ottawakungfu (talk) 22:59, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] San Soo?
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)
[edit] Template discussion in general
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.

[edit] Added Jeong Yim to list
Created Jeong Yim page, added name to list Huo Xin (talk) 23:38, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
I deleted Jeong Yim because he does not belong on the template listing. Jeong Yim is important to one branch of CLF and should not be added to a list that is targeting an audience seeking general information about Chinese Martial Arts.ottawakungfu (talk) 22:47, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
