Learning to Fly - Position 7: Wuxia

Being a series of vignettes aimed at educating the super-powered reader about the various possible permutations of the flight posture.In Chinese wuxia films, the act of flying is often represented by weightless acrobatics and running. Useful for those of us with a light touch of narcolepsy, you'll never be horizontal and suddenly feel the urge to take a power nap. Running and jumping over roof tiles or bamboo forests, the wind in your hair, there'll be no doubt in your mind that this is flying. Don't listen to what other superheroes say. They are plainly wrong.

And look how down to earth you are compared to them. And how frequently you are.
