The rolling stones Sifu Batu practices martial arts known as The Rolling Stones. The style emulates the motion of a rock rolling downhill, is unique and highly secretive. It is highly secretive in the sense that although it is observable, it is extremely difficult to execute because it requires a combination of timing, breathing and movement all being synchronised. It also takes many years of practice in order to perfect the art. The secrets of The Rolling Stones has been practised for the last 600 years and has been passed down from one generation to the next when the Sifu picks the anointed one to commence training. Although the style may have its own iteration when passed down from one generation to the next, it has largely followed the original motion. More recently, Sifu Batu has combined The Rolling Stones with Buddha's teaching as a form of further self control over the use of force. As a consequence, certain motions were altered. Sifu Batu has also developed a number of different apparatus over the years which he uses to train. These apparatus are relatively simple. One of them is an adaption of the standard coat stand (pictured below) but with modifications where the protruding arms are longer and thicker. The objective of this apparatus is to emulate the opponent's arms and one would be practising blocking against the protruding arms. Practising with this apparatus improves one's reflex and also toughens up a person's ability to withstand blows to the forearms. Sifu Batu has performed The Rolling Stones publicly at MMA (mixed martial arts) duels with opponents. He has also performed on stage as a solo performance on special occasions. Sifu Batu is considering writing an instructor's manual for The Rolling Stones. However, although the instructional manual will contain diagrammatic illustration of the moves, a person reading the manual alone will not be able to learn The Rolling Stones effectively because everything is in the timing and can only be taught. Sifu Batu has performed The Rolling Stones for over 30 years and its style is so unique that those well versed in martial arts would immediately associate it with Sifu Batu. In addition to the instructor's manual, Sifu Batu is also considering starting a martial arts school teaching The Rolling Stones. However, it is his intention that the martial arts taught at the school will be only of the basic level. The expert level will only be taught to the anointed one. Sifu Batu also plans to manufacture the training apparatus for sale. Overall, Sifu Batu is of the view that the combination of the training apparatus, the instructor manual and the teaching of the basic level of The Rolling Stones will generate significant income for his retirement but still ensure that the expert level knowledge is kept a secret.
