I just wanted to share a few of the things I learned since joining this forum.
#1. There are people who learn Hsing-I without learning PaKua and vice-versa
#2. Japanese swords were not far and away the best weapon of the old world.
#3. There are many internal stylists who do not recognize the existence of Chi and think it is a myth.
#4. MMA made TMA take a better look at ground fighting but the idea of most fights ending on the ground is not true or a matter of opinion.
#5. There is more bickering between those of the same style than of different styles.
#6. many of us hold stereotypes that we need to transcend.
Please add anything you all may have learned or felt was a revelation.
