Hello everyone...here is a first draft of something I'm creating for the Digital Culture program we are creating at my college.
This is Wushu Kung Fu Wu Bu Quan, or the Five Basic Stances of Wushu Kung Fu. The background image is courtesy of Wushu Kungfu Online.
And here is the Blender file:

(A word of explanation about why I am using such an old version of Blender. A good IT friend of mine donated four Intel Xeon Quad Four 32-bit Servers--complete with rack--when his company upgraded to 64-bit. Unfortunately, Ubuntu Server only has the correct kernel up to 10.04, which comes with Blender 2.49b.)
Any and all martial artists interested please critique the moves when you run the animation (since it is only a rig, it should run with Blender 2.7x).
And here is the video, rough as it is! http://youtu.be/Mp2ACXHfuDQ
