Scenario

When siblings disagree about preserving family martial arts traditions

My brother and I learned Kung Fu from our grandfather before he died and now we're the only ones who carry his specific style, but we remember some techniques differently and we fight about what's 'correct' every time we try to practice together. We're losing the essence of what he taught us by arguing over the details.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Grief and responsibility for preserving tradition are creating conflict over imperfect memory and different interpretations.
