That's called the placebo effect. And it has absolutely nothing to do with you. They believe something will work, and so it does.
It has nothing to do with your crayon drawings you're selling them.

Quote:
During his teens, he have learned more lineages for various masters in person such as Hung Gar, Wingchun, Taichi, Mantis and Chi Gung. At his leisure time, he also learn kungfu himself from different sources as well and so he also practiced and learned BaJi, XingYi, BaGwa Jeung, and so on. The learning experience with a real master was horrible because he did not benefit much from them except for the wingchun experience which gave him a chance to proof how close minded the wingchun's master is. They cannot think logically and practical and always called themselves "practical". These masters of age from 38-59s are all closed minded and are not pleasant to be around. They do not practice kungfu themselves everyday and they are actually living in the world of Chinese kungfu novels only and not the real world. All they do is talk and gossip about the fantasize version of kungfu.
Mak Jo Si is sick and tired of them and decided to leave them all and practice on his own instead to have the fun.
For me, this is just said there are very little TCMA practitioner has mastered their basic.
However, leave the ignorance teacher and start a new way doesnt solve the fundamental issue.
it is great to see alots of different points of view here. and that is good because it represent different attainments. with different attainments one sees different views. and lots of views are valid.
For me,
Mark's issues is common and the root of this issue is failing to open up the lower limp ; meaning from waist down to the toes are not smoothly connected.
This is the basic before syncronize the whole body. if that part of the body is not open up then further development is in effective and block.
Thus, it is an issue which is related to the basic instead of the style. different style has different momentum signature, but the basic is the min needs to get the lower limp function properly.
This is one of the biggest issue today. IMHO. I am presenting here intended to solve issue instead of who's view is the highest. and solving issue could comes from different view. I think Earth Dragon gets some goods points. Mark is presenting himself in his environment and condition. so I would say if I am living like him I would probably do the same things.
I am jealous because as a High Priest Pagan practioner of the ancient method of anal clinch druidism, my wicker man exorcisms have gone to the way side with frauds such as yourself claiming to have "teh real" exorcisms. I challenge you to prove your Taoist Exorcisms can defeat my mighty Pagan rituals. Come on, Chi Boy, put up or shut up. You think you know about exorcisms, you don't know sh**t!!
Dłnan math innearach, mąthair na ciste-mine!!!
I'll see your pansy flute and raise you a real instrument:

Sit on it and twirl you dirty scum!!!!!:mad::mad::rolleyes::rolleyes::):):D:D
I am not asking you know or not.
I am asking you to define your know so that civil discussion can take place.
For me,
I also not buying the " to explain it is already too late.." stuff.
There are to many in the TCMA world who keep preaching " do it 1000x and you will get it" " you know what I mean?" "Zen.... everything is Zen..."
It is simply, one needs to tell others " what exactly one is doing and upto what kind of quality or state one could expect the result to be." Even Zen, it is technology and has steps
TCMA is technology in my opinion, technology is engineering. and every step of engineering must be clearly state. otherwise, there is no quality reproduction.
Thus, Mark's issue could be solved by simply correcting a few points and get rid of his issues once forever. That doesnt involve myter-sism , Dao, Zen, ......etc. But solid points to be corrected and to be train.
No way!! :eek::eek::eek:Quote:
anal clinch druidism
How do I get down on that? I DO work in a jail, afterall. I need all the anal clinch help I can get!
if that is what you see. that if fine with me.
however, in my humble opinion, your legs medirians are not open up which cause issues in all of your youtube. with that there is no way one could have advance attainment.
In WCK, one open up these medirians in SLT set, you obviously has not get that far.
ok, just checking - sometimes it's hard to tell with you
but it is - by the time you explain it, you are out of the experience; not saying this as a cop-out, it's really true - i mean, as you know, I CAN talk about it at length from an anatomical / physiological perspective, but you know, I've done that here so many times, even I start to get bored w the "sound" of my own voice (:eek::eek::eek:); but beyond that, beyond the words, there is the experience; you can label it anyway you want, but the label isn't the experience; I know you know this, this is rudimentary stuff
yes - do it a 1000x wrong and you will get "it" too, lol;
well, it is, given that CH'an means "suchness" or "things such as they are"; but one can say it w out knowing this
true; but one can also "discover" spontaneously on one's own (nature is nature; the potential is there for anyone); for example, my wife studied yoga on her own for years, never had a ful-time teacher; she finally went to take the certification course so she could teach it, and the instructors were blown away by her understanding (she got the highest grade in the class); of course, she read, and had limited interactions w some teachers over the years, but most was her own self-exploration; so it's a "natural" technology", that is "out there", waiting to be found, so to speak...
I agree - but, at least in my personal experience, the means by which this particular "technology" can be communicated is less about words, although they are a part, but direct interaction; for example - my push-hands were "stuck"; so I stopped doing it with adults and only with kids (I would do it as part of their PT training, so it actualy benefited them - really - and that got me over the block - and not a word was spoken (well, the kids had fun, they giggled a lot);
point is that unlike engeneering technology that requires exact reproduction everytime, the practice of taiji / qigong, etc., is / should NOT be exactly the same everytime!
A guy who has no clue what he is doing trying to sell online kung fu AND who claims to do exorcism because the "dieties" taught him is both a clown and a fraud
Maybe English isn't your first language, but he's an idiot and deserves all the criticism he has received
well, i understand what you are saying, and you do make a valid point; and again, typically I'd write up a whole detailed description of what is going on w the breath, the posture, the connective tissue structure in context of tensegrity concept, the fluids, the autonomics, etc., etc., etc.; but lately, I've been in a less pedantic mood , for whatever reason (mayb it's all of the gardening, digging in the earth for a week); so from digging in the earth, carrying bags of mulch, planting veggies, etc., all in context of my personal "practice", the lines blurs, the distinction between "this is practice" / "this is not practice" dissolves, and I am at a loss to re-gell things at the moment; but I do appreciate your perspective and sincere inquiry
Thanks for the explanation.
What I have seen is that TCMA has reached a point that "What " is not clearly told and up for everyone to define. That is trouble. As lots and lots will say" that is my style " to fuzzy up the "What". or substitute Zen, Dao....Now ... Being...ect for a clear "What". That is also trouble.

I believe you are not a fraud. probably has good heart trying to do the best too with high responsibility feeling.
However, reading your view on religions and spiritual and kungfu cultivation in your website. It is evidentally that you are young, naive, and with tunnel vision. like the world in this clip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDuymwTln7A
I would not like to travel your path because that is a dangerous path. Perhaps I am getting too old.
this I agree with - anyone can say anything they want - anyone can call what they do Dao, Ch'an, Qi etc. - PERSONALLY I don't typically use any of those terms, because they are "well-defined" within their own methodologies - for example, to do the 100 Days OPening of the Microcosmic Orbit, there is a very specific methodology; I was taught it, I used it, but I don't teach it or really even talk about it, because it's very precise, and I am not into throwing around precise terms without fully understanding them - which is why I use what I know well, the contemporary anatomy/ physiology, etc. - of course, I don't teach this stuff either, when I work with patients on body-mechanics it's not at this level (although I do teach them to "float" their cranium on top of their spine, and sometimes someone is good enough to get the connection to their feet, but that's uncommon); so, again, i think it's ok for someone to have their own personal "way", but they shouldn't pull out a term like "qi" that they don't realy understand to explain what they are doing when they don't know how else to explain it...
I give him the freedom of how he wants to live his life.
Like the Eagle cannot tell a Chicken how to live....
For me, Marc is living in the fantasy HK movie
like this one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTvcK...eature=related
but then if he is happy and the people around him is happy. I need to accept that.
as for how distance the HK fantasy movie is to reality... that is a totally different question.
no, actually, i get what he's saying - meaning the CYMac isn't intentionally out to scam people, he sincerely believes in himself and what he's doing (of course, so did several other "colorful characters" during the early to mid-20th century, but I digress);
so he's a looney, but he's a happy looney...
now, about that Legion of Doom photoshop assingment..
The true issue here in this Kung Fu forum has surfaced is that
What went wrong that cause the general us including Marc that missed the under waist training basic that cause training problem.
Where in which state of Kung fu training that needs to be focus and taking care of?
I believe Marc has decades of training and internal and external training following different coach. however the issue is why is this important basic missed the attention?
That would be cool to solve this issue.
sniff sniff...........My little Hendrik has finally grown up!
Come on guys, if you got exposed to the world of magic, you will not say such things. It's not fun when one day you wake up and got all kinds of aches and stuff on your body and you can SEE the other side casting stuff on you in front of their altar and drawing FU (talisman as known in the west) on your portal voodoo doll.. it's not that fun. Don't make fun of magic just in case one day you need the help.
You are fu(king insane
haha, really? It seems like you don't know what I am talking about. Anyway, enjoy the porcupine cake. :)
