The Tiger and Leopard Influence on Pak Mei
Bak Mei is certainly an internal MA. The develoment of breath and jing control is different than Tai Chi. But nevertheless the goal and the achived skill is very similiar. I have trained and have experience in Bak Mei and Tai Chi. It is quite amazing to pick up a stiff Tai Chi sword and make it vibrate after you Fa jing. I was able to do this along with experienced skilled Tai Chi practioners. I was just a beginner and had no experience with a sword. It was strictly due to my jing development in Bak Mei.
If you Bak Mei guys haven't had a chance to pick up a Tai Chi sword, hey give it a try. You"ll be surprise to see how well you can extend your Jing/Chi or not!
