Green Way research is the site I most hit at when looking for sources of texts or random topics. It usually comes out high on Google searches that are specific on topics of Tai Chi Chuan (太極拳), Qigong (氣功) or related internal martial arts.
In fact its scope is broader, and reduce it to a "martial arts ressource" would not to do justice to the research done by Mrs. and Mr. Garofalo on a range of topics that point to a way of life. For my purposes, which is looking for reliable references on Internal Martial Arts (內家武術), it is a very good companion. Probably the richest in English language. It works well as a starting point or as a second reference on many of the topics I work up for my personal study.
There is only one real downside: it does not make a selection or recommendation itself of the references it lists. The breadth of the references sometimes point to works of lesser interest or on occasions, even misleading. My understanding that this is by design: it is up to its readers and followers to make it own selection, determine their own study path.
Mr. Garofalo also publishes a blog called Cloud Hands.
