Loved watching these.... and, as usual with YouTube, still others are offered. Wonder if even more from the Archive will make their way for viewing...

Very cool, Xue. I have to wonder if the German film crew understood the significance of what they were watching from it's martial perspective. I noticed that it was listed as (a street spectacle) in the opening. That leads me to believe that the filmers didn't understand what they were looking at.
