Note

The codex keeps the full, continually-updated location index (with every link, verification date, and provenance flag) in Public/Northern Kung Fu Video/CATALOG.md; these wiki pages surface the substantive picks. Last deep-swept 2026-06-05 (a knowledge-targeted re-sweep that added the archival Yiquan, Baji, and Pigua master films below — and caught the AI fake).
