A Kung Fu Cut Below the Rest

When master says cut, you cut!

Just revisited this strange and weird kung fu story from China back in late 2010. And when I say weird, I mean really out there, like in totally martial arts maniac approved type of weirdness.

It's about this 60-year-old Chinese man who deliberately cut off his wiener - thus the 'kung fu cut below the rest' title.

And why in the name of Buddha did he even consider this to be a good idea in the first place - saying goodbye to his trouser dragon, chopping off his chopper so to speak? A, glad you asked... Well, here's why.

It appears his sifu (master) came to him in a dream, telling him that he had to get rid of the fun stick in order to advance the chosen martial art - apparently some type of qi gong. Waking up the next morning he did as any good (but somewhat gullible) martial arts student would do - exactly as told by the master...
