It hardly seems like a story to me, in reference to Yang Luchan. But some conflate it with magic, this is not so, it is technique.

But I don't think you'll see a big adoption of him in America. American sensibilities would find his enormous testicles offensive. And he has nipples. Nipples are bad. Also, if people knew that was a jug of sake in his hand they'd find that offensive too. No one want to think of grandma getting her exe4rcise under the watchful eyes of a well-endowed, naked drunk.
