EDIT:  waaay late in updating, but late is indeed better than never.  thanks @ Martialartmaster for sharing his/her knowledge of these forms.  quote from his/her comment:  "in order it is kendo, dragon kung fu, tai chi, karate,shaolin kung fu, and snake kung fu "

this image is also now available in many more print options and art gifts.  thank you!

---original description below---

unfortunately i do not remember the form(s) of martial art that is displayed in this image. these silhouettes were captured photographically and finished/enhanced using software. no quality of the model has been altered other than making her completely black (original pose, shape, form preserved).

i'm thrilled that so many people have been viewing and showing their support over this piece since 2006. thank you again.

a revision in april 2010 to this file has enhanced the quality of the silhouettes while producing a larger file to enable the print feature on deviantART. sharing features were also enabled since they did not exist before posting this file originally.
