Buy the DVD (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00003UC8V/inktomi-dvdasin-20/102-1594332-1335315) !! And its got nude yoga to boot!!:p

[redfist]

can you learn anything from this book?
i have never seen it other then in advertisements,
my feeling is that it is harmless porno.
if you are satisfied with it,then it was worth the investment.

[[Censored]]

Nude Hsing-I?

Or, even better, Nude 8 Drunken Fairies!

[GeneChing]

I remember when Nude Yoga was panned in Yoga Journal. That one makes more sense to me ;)
Nude Tai Chi - that definately makes my xmas MA book list right next to Honor Blackman's Self defense book and Stephen Hayes book of Ninja poetry!
Thanks L D S, you made my morning chuckle!:D

[L D S]

I was hoping for more serious replies. Some of the replies are really too funny.

Who can tell some more about this book. Or do I have to ask overaged hippies about it?
Is it safe to read this book without being stoned?

[Monkey]

Overage Hippie at your service.
This book came out while I was in college, in my second year of Kung-fu studies.(Hsing-I)
It is pretty lackluster and disappointing. The Tai chi is of the Chen Man Ching variety, if I recall correctly. But the players ARE nude as promised.
I remember my instructors wife getting a big kick out of this book when she heard about it. We all had a good laugh over it.

[taooftaichi]

This is a brief book. It does not give much explanation of the postures, which is a short Yang Style Form. The pictures are indeed nude, but that in no way provides any additional insight into Tai Chi. You could have done the same thing by simply having the models wear typical body forming dance or Yoga outfits.

The pictures are also limited, usually only one photo per posture, so transitions are not shown.

All in all a harmless book. Interesting to add to your collection as a curiosity, but don't expect to "learn" much Tai Chi from it.

[Chang Style Novice]

Dude, if I tried that in the park where I do my forms, I'd get so busted it isn't even funny.

[Mojo]

Right now I'm practicing Nude Tai-ping.

[EARTH DRAGON]

To make matters worse one of my students bought the video.

Their were 3 women on different level platforms performing tai chi (not good tai chi mind you) but moving meditation which is what they called it. As "taooftachi" said it is quite insufficent and does nothing for the art of tai chi but more a advertising add to promote non martial artists to go out and buy it. kind like having women lay on top of a cars to boost sales. Do not buy it thinking that you are going to learn anything other than what 3 nude women trying to play tai chi look like.

But that is why I'd buy it!:D

[GeneChing]

I'm an over aged hippie too, and this title got past me. Maybe all that stuff they said about memory loss was legit.
We need to make a nude wushu video.... imagine the slow motion sequences! And it could take rope dart to a whole new level...

[Water Dragon]

Nude BJJ!!! females only

[sanchezero]

"Do not buy it thinking that you are going to learn anything other than what 3 nude women trying to play tai chi look like."

Dude! You left out THE most important info...

Are they hot? :D

[EARTH DRAGON]

OK Yes the one girl is pretty and she is very busty. but their are a lot different video's of womenout there that are avaiable for non instructional type format that I am sure you would find more appealing. But if you are buying a tape to learn tai chi from nude women you should fist learn to relax the jaw muscles by keeping it closed and try to focus on something else

[Kristoffer]

Nude modern wushu would be cool :D

[chen zhen]

Nude monkey style!!:eek:

[GeneChing]

Somehow, that doesn't seem right. I mean if you really practice Tai Chi, can you be too well endowed to do it right? Does Tai Chi require a specific body type? I'm sure there is an optimal body type, of course, but if having big breasts is an impediment, we need to seriously rethink this practice.


I think I need to examine this tape for further research. I wonder if I can get a review copy....

[Mojo]

Get the DVD. It has both nude yoga and nude tai-chi on it !

[bodhitree]

Zheng Man Zhing should have done a nude tai chi video
would have turned me on;)

[GeneChing]

What do I have to do to get a review copy? ;)


Actually, I'm serious about this whole 'breast too big for Tai Chi' issue. If this is true, something is horribly, horribly wrong with this practice. Don't you think so?

k gene, first of all I don't think the girls really know that much tai chi so the're prolly doin it wrong. But the first thing that comes to mind from reading your post was of those ancient female warriors that had to cut of one of their breast to be able to fight better (I think it involved bow n arrow. Was this the Incas or did this occur in Japan/China :confused: hmm can't remember where exactly)

You refering to the amazons, if I remember my History correctly they lived somewhere around the Black Sea/Northern turkey and another tribe in Libya.

Sorry, not tropical revealing clothing for them.
:D

Also not sure about the cutting of of a breast, need to reread my greek lore and history again.

[Stranger]

Some historians are leaning towards the Amazons being a reference to female Scythian archers, who would have lived in the area that Laughing Cow mentioned above.

[Kristoffer]

Some think that there were never no Amazons. That they were just storys people told their sons to make them train harder.
The breast cutting might just be one more legend..

[Laughing Cow]

Kristoffer.

From what I read and heard the breast cutting was a myth, but they did bandage them in a way to make them smaller.
Of course this only happened for actual fights & training.

Personally, I think that they or someone that the legend is based upon existed.

Many cultures and stories point to a similar place during a similar time-perioed. Plus, there also is evidence besides the stories alone.

Many "true" facts were created during the victorian times and also via Hollywood movies.

You would actually be surpised between the differences of the accepted facts invented by hollywood and the actual real historical facts.
Example:
Thumb down to sentence a gladiator to death, NO roman emperor is on record on EVER having used it.

Seeya.

Loan sharks demand nude photos from students: report (http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2016-06/14/content_25709125.htm)
By Zheng Caixiong (chinadaily.com.cn)

A growing number of Chinese university students are being targeted by loan sharks who demand nude photographs as collateral, according to a report in the Guangzhou-based Southern Metropolis Daily.

"The nude photos will be made public if the borrowers fail to repay their debts with interest," an insider was quoted as saying by the newspaper.

Some students who failed to repay their debts in time have sought police help, accompanied by their parents, after being threatened with sexual violence or having their nude photos published online, the newspaper said.

One female university student, who was referred to as Li Li to protect her identity, said the loan sharks asked students to provide photocopies of their identity cards, student cards and family data, plus their nude photos, before they were granted a loan.

"Many students have borrowed the money from the loan shark groups by leaving their nude photos to the lenders," Li told local media.

"The interest rate usually reach more than 30 percent a year, and a student can borrow from several hundred yuan to many thousand yuan according to the materials and data they offer."

The loan amount is often contingent on the level of the borrower's education, she said.

Li borrowed money from a loan shark group to start a business in February and said she had since been threaten to repay her debts, else her nude photos will be published.

Zhang Xinnian, a lawyer from Beijing, said publishing other people's nude photographs was a serious infringement of their personal privacy.

He urged victims to actively seek police help or go to court to protect their legal interests.

Local police did not comment on the cases on Tuesday.

This really isn't news. How many times have you heard the cliche of loan sharks forcing women into prostitution? But for some reason, it's trending on the China newsfeeds today, as if Chinese loan sharks are any worse than loan sharks anywhere else in the world. After all, we don't call them loan guppies. :rolleyes:

This kind of sick behavior goes straight up to the top. For instance in the West, let's just say the United States for instance (but examples in Canada, England, probably Russia, Israel, even Turkey you name it), people who "make it" politically always have this kind of a black-mail in the closet if they are not good little troopers. Sex drugs and rock and roll. For instance years ago there was a Canadian politician that got busted for drugs, prostitution, etc. When this happens and it is reported in the news, people see it as a freak isolated incident. But it is probably more widespread- these people's (politicians) handlers in the shadows may never need to open up the can of worms or leak their filthy habits out to the press. Just goes to show the kind of degenerate scum that are running the world. But they'll arrest you if you steal a bag of potato chips from the supermarket.

Also, DO NOT vote for Hillary Clinton. Avoid her, she is an evil woman. When Bill Clinton was Governor in Mena, Arkansas he was involved in drug smuggling and her law firm covered much of the details up. Two teenage boys riding their bicycles were killed on the rail-road tracks after witnessing a drug deal go down that was connected to Bill Clinton. There are a list of 50 people who have been murdered who were close to the Clintons when Bill was governor and during the rise to his presidency. As if being a womanizer isn't enough. Some of these people include body guards who 'saw too much', and associates, for instance people who were found shot in the head in their house with their bags fully packed as if they were about to leave somewhere. Even though the evidence doesn't add up some of these murders were legally ruled as "suicides" which obviously isn't true. Just do a YouTube search for "Bill Clinton Murders" or some such keyword and videos/ documentaries will pop up. There was even a Dateline NBC or a 20/20 (one of those type of shows) that aired on public television in the 90's about the Clinton murders. I don't think the episode was ever re-broadcast after it's original air date.

What I am saying is this- be warned! These politicians put on a mask and this is what the public sees portrayed in the media. But they wear a false face. If Barrack Obama is really a good man, than his influence to do any good is too weak due the people placed around him- no choice but to sell out. As a nation the American people need a new set or standard of moral values that can weigh against and be used to judge the politicians. I am not saying I have any answers but I can propose ideas. We need to kick all of the degenerate swine out of office ASAP or things are just going to get worse.

Anyway, those loan sharks are just "small potatos" mimicking what the big players do to their own. I guess that is my point.

This is so random but it popped up on my newsfeed and I just couldn't resist ttt-ing this ol' thread.

Local ***** back doing Tai Chi in the park with no top on (http://newsthump.com/2017/09/19/local-*****-back-doing-tai-chi-in-the-park-with-no-top-on/)

http://2w6kxc22rrr9mabqt1mglgait6.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/man-tai-chi-small.jpg

After a week of stormy weather, a local ***** has returned to the park to do Tai Chi with his top off.

The ***** began doing Tai Chi in the park during a particularly mild spell in April, and keeps returning whenever it isn’t raining, presumably to try and get girls to talk to him.

“Yeah, he was there again,” confirmed Eleanor Gay, who has to walk through the park to get to work.

“Standing on one leg and focusing on the middle distance like some middle-aged Karate Kid.

“And I just know he’s staring at my arse as I go past him. What a *****.”

The *****, known locally, somewhat inevitably, as Simon Williams, claimed that doing Tai Chi in the park with no top on made him feel closer to the natural rhythms of nature or some such nonsense.

“Doing Tai Chi in the park with no top on is a profoundly centring experience,” claimed Mr Williams, *****ishly.

“I harness the flow of nature’s energy through the movement of-”

Mr Williams suddenly stopped and stared at an oncoming figure.

“Actually mate, do you mind moving on. There’s a girl coming, so I’d better do some Tai Chi with no top on and then she might come and talk to me.”

The Irish Naturist Association meets on a Dublin beach to practise martial arts on Sunday mornings. It’s all about getting closer to nature

If you go down to White Rock Beach by Killiney Hill in Dublin early on a Sunday morning, you can watch the sunrise. Go a little later and you might see a moon instead, because that’s when the Irish Naturist Association likes to practise naked Qigong.

Nestled below a steep cliff, secluded from view, the beach is dappled with seaweed and naked participants jumping and crouching to the polyrhythmic pulse of handheld drums.

Qigong is a mostly slow-moving martial art. The class’s teacher, Nathalie (31) says that while the more commonly known Tai Chi works by moving energy around, Qigong focuses on “inner energy work”.

“If you have a pipe and it’s blocked, nothing circulates,” Nathalie says. “Qigong unblocks the pipe so that everything flows – the blood, the lymphatic system – everything circulates so that the body functions properly.” That is to say, it’s exercise.

Nathalie began teaching naked classes with women’s circles where participants would strip down as a way to celebrate the body. This July, she started holding outdoor events for the Irish Naturist Association.


Boud says Irish attitudes toward nudity develop when children are told to cover up
We’ll get to the difference between naturists and nudists later; for now, all you need to know is that while artist Ciara Boud doesn’t mind being referred to as a naturist, she just sees herself as someone who chooses to “wear or not wear what she wants to”.

Boud, who has surveyed nudists and hosts a podcast about them, says Irish attitudes toward nudity develop when children are told to cover up and, then, as they get older, being told what their bodies are supposed to look like. “We associate nakedness with something sexual,” she says over the phone.

“There is that bit more pressure on women in terms of image,” Boud adds. “We’re bombarded from a very young age to hold ourselves in a certain manner and be ladylike. And, in Irish society, taking your clothes off isn’t seen as very ladylike.”

Other naturists Boud has surveyed tell her that they transitioned to nudism from life modelling or body painting. Some just grew up with a casual attitude to nudity and then joined groups when they found out that they were outliers.

“Bodies are quite boring,” says Boud. “Once they’ve been out on display for a little while, you’re like, ‘that’s a t*t and that’s an ass’, and nobody cares and nobody’s looking, and nobody is even thinking of your body in a broken down structure of ‘those are the sexual bits and those are not’.

“When you’re there you never picture yourself as being on show till you hear a tutting person on the beach.”

So, why do it at all?

“It’s an experiential thing,” Boud says. “You can explain and explain and explain to people, ‘you’ll never feel more comfortable in your life’. If you can be confident naked, there’s very few other scenarios where you’re not going to feel comfortable.”

On the beach, Leticia Medina, a Spanish woman in her 40s, looks remarkably comfortable despite an overdressed journalist shoving a voice recorder toward her while yelling questions about the difference between naturists and nudists over the roar of the wind and the sea. (The answer: naturists prefer being naked in nature; nudists aren’t fussy.)

Medina wasn’t either until she tried to go to a sauna in Ireland and was shocked to see people keeping their clothes on. “It’s just disgusting,” she says. “It’s not hygienic. It’s ridiculous. I was thinking ‘Are they crazy?’”

She joined the Irish Naturist Association in her search for a sauna where she didn’t have to sit in sweat-soaked swimwear, but has since become one of its leading organisers. As coronavirus restrictions came in, the group set up online naked language lessons and lectures on subjects like nudist beaches and naturist bloggers, as well as a digital pub, where people strip down, fix their own drinks and chat on Zoom.


He tells me that there are two sides to this story and that the voices of those who object to the nudist group should also be represented
Medina says that they have seen a surge in membership during the coronavirus lockdown, with 70 new members in the past few months pushing their numbers to about 400. Five years ago, there were only 146 of them.

As I walk the steep cliff steps from the beach up to the coastal road, a man calls from behind for me to stop. We are both out of breath. He tells me, wheezing, that there are two sides to this story and that the voices of those who object to the nudist group should also be represented. Not his voice in particular, however; he does not want to be quoted.

In all, I speak to seven people on the beach who dislike the naturist group, some standing to the side, mocking the class. They suspect that the nudists are perverts, but they don’t want to be quoted. They are afraid of being labelled as prudes. The nudists taking part in the activities say that they suspect that their detractors are prudes, but they also don’t want to be quoted. They are afraid that they’ll be labelled as perverts. Opinions here are too private to be exposed in public. Of the nudists, only women will go on the record.

Medina says that the group holds classes on the beach because they want to strike a balance between letting the public know about the nudist group and not being in anyone’s face. They want to influence society, but gently. Passengers on the train passing by on the hillside might glimpse the group, but nobody’s sensitivities should be scandalised.

She says she once asked the police if they ever received complaints about the group. She was told: “people will complain about anything”. One time, as she was setting up, a Garda marched down to speak with her about the naturist group; he told her he thought it was cool. Even the people I spoke with who opposed the group didn’t seem to have a problem with nudism in general – some said they swam naked regularly – they just didn’t like the group meeting on their local beach.

Similarly, when mother of two Ciara Langan photographs groups of naked people arranged against stark natural landscapes, she says the only opposition she ever encountered was when someone pressed a Mass leaflet into one of her stewards’ hands. Usually, the participants who align themselves on sand dunes, mountains or beaches only hear cheers from passengers in passing vehicles.


If it’s just a cultural hangup, ditch it. And then, weather permitting, ditch your clothes
“There are veterans of nudity who come to my events,” Langan said over the phone, “and then there are people who come as total newbies and they’ve never done anything like it before. They’re shaking like a leaf and really, really nervous. Then they strip off and are like, ‘This is amazing’. Or often, ‘Why didn’t I do this 20 years ago? I’ve carried my shame and my insecurities about my lumps or my bumps and all the things that humans have’.”

Langan says that she has never liked labels, metaphorical or physical. “The feeling of wind and rain, and of sunshine on my skin, it relaxes me,” she says. “The last storm we had, I happened to be in a city so I went up to the roof – there was nobody around, so it was grand – I left my clothes behind to feel the static charge.”

Langan explains the etiquette of nudism to me: you put a towel beneath you when you sit; don’t stare; don’t act like it’s a dating event. Do people ever become aroused? “Sometimes it does happen. You can be sitting on a bus and it will happen for absolutely no reason,” Langan says, “but just excuse yourself from the group, don’t make an issue of it. If there is an individual walking around like that, that’s an individual you don’t want there.”

Nudists have a word for non-nudists: “textiles”. When asked to explain why they like to get naked in public, nudists often flip the question: why are textiles so averse to seeing naked people in public? If it’s just a cultural hangup, ditch it. And then, weather permitting, ditch your clothes.

“And when you do put your clothes back on, you’re changed,” Langan says. “You just carry it with you. You’ve more body confidence, you’re not as insecure, and your attitude toward how other people see your body – you care less.”
