"When you truly love something in this world, you dedicate yourself to perfecting it, becoming flawless in the pursuit of that love.

You find fulfillment in it, and everything else becomes insignificant.

In doing so, you become strong enough to resist the overwhelming loneliness that sometimes comes. You become brave, learning to reject the noise and bustle around you. You learn to be simple and serious, developing a style that is uniquely your own."
— Liu Daren, Strong and Beautiful

When I first came across these words, I was left pondering them for a long time.

It seems like a message written specifically for martial artists, deeply resonating with me.

In these few sentences, there's a rhythm that suggests Liu Daren himself practiced martial arts.

After delving into many of his works, I discovered he practiced Yang-style Tai Chi. It appears he studied it in New York. Imagining the Tai Chi masters in New York’s Chinatown during that time, I can’t help but recall Ang Lee’s Pushing Hands.

At the same time, I thought of Hsieh Su-wei, who once stayed at Fly by Knight Courtyard Beijing residence.

During the China Open back then, I had the honor of accompanying her throughout the tournament. She managed the movements of a professional athlete with such precision and control.

What impressed me most was sensing her "simplicity and seriousness."

I’m glad to see her consistently rise to "world number one." She has rejected the noise and chaos coming at her from all directions.

At one time, I believed that martial arts were only for those within the community—that only insiders could truly understand it. But excellence transcends disciplines, and it makes me happy to see someone love something so deeply that they practice it to perfection, becoming flawless.

Thank you, Hsieh Su-wei, for your strength and beauty.

With her support, every time we release new designs, I always see her message: “Do you have something that fits my martial arts style?”

With her absolute warrior spirit, Hsieh Su-wei has constantly inspired me to design something worthy of her.

DESIGN STORY

Long ago, I was curious – why is history called "History" in English, meaning "His Story"? Some scholars suggest that the earliest recorded writings were often associated with the military or government, essentially viewpoints documented by men.

So, is history truly "his story"? Then what about "her story"? Isn't that worth preserving as well?

Riding horses and engaging in warfare signified territorial expansion, acclaim, and glory – pursuits predominantly favored by men. Combat skills were akin to "soldiers on the battlefield," involving broad swords, swift horses, and the art of tactical maneuvers. The ease of donning and removing garments, symbolized by the thorough loop, echoes this physical mindset.

An alternative path for martial arts was its inclusion in ordinary households – a transference of skill, a personal challenge, a demonstration of expertise. This belonged to the realm of "leisurely mastery," akin to a chess match, where intent to conquer was hidden within contemplation – a gentle form of fortitude.

Men could lift heavy weights and throw spears, but women could carry children all day long. While Wing Chun boxing is said to have roots in women's combat, it might not necessarily be originated by them. Nonetheless, it undoubtedly discovered the intricate dynamics of the female physique and seamlessly incorporated them into martial arts – a brilliance beyond words.

For a while, I've wanted to create an attire exclusively for women. After much contemplation, I chanced upon Zhang Ziyi's Baguazhang portrayal in a movie. Wong Kar-wai, THE GRANMASTER of direction, skillfully depicted martial art in women through the lens, unveiling its elegance.

The gentle qipao, paired with the swift and intricate thorough loop, encompasses the twists of Bagua, the spirals of Tai Chi, and the spirit of Wing Chun – strength concealed within gentleness, subdued yet lavish.

"We aren't pursuing retro, but rather, recovering authenticity."

The founder, Daniel Huang, is a martial artist, kung fu instructor, and also the founder of Fly by Knight Courtyard Hotel, where he used to teach his guests kung fu before COVID.

Daniel found his passion for martial arts when he was a teen. Yet, it was not until he met the grandmaster, Adam Hsu, did he have a huge breakthrough. Hsu not only taught him Long Fist & Baji Quan, but also the philosophy and history of kung fu, including what a real kung fu attire looks like. It was where the journey started.

The purpose of this project is more than reviving a unique kung fu attire. What we really want to do is to promote Chinese martial arts, and how it benefits our body. Join us now and recover your sensitivity through kung fu training!
