Thanks, David JAMIESON. I know a person can learn to do all that without the knowledge. Some would be good to have when someone is saying, "Well this is how my sifu trained, and his sifu before him" and on and on and on.

Check out Peter Lorge's discussion Qi Jiguang in a modern context on our ezine: What MMA Has to Teach Us about Chinese Martial Arts. Then check out Peter Lorge's work: Chinese Martial Arts: From Antiquity to the Twenty-First Century by Peter Lorge.
There's also an old thread here: Qi Jiguang's chapter on boxing in English.
Just like the eyes lead the fists, a little searching before posting is always prudent here. ;)
Maybe I'm crazy but I typically teach my students how to hold their hands up and use footwork to avoid getting hit as much as they can. After many years of training I can still learn a new language, do math problems, write software...useful things. You came into this thread with presumptions, and got bent out of shape when you find out learning something new is actually going require effort.
Your brand of meathead is a disgrace to the rest of us who train in modern martial arts.
Bent out of shape????? Lol.
I just have one question. You do know that getting hit in the head KILLS brain cells right? Did you know that before i brought it up to you? I am not sure now. OH my god.
Are you insinuating that your students never get hit in the head???? They must be amazing and you must be an amazing teacher...or you guys are not really sparring.
DAvid, are you happy? Now one of your pals is trolling me as well.
Are you two going to destroy every thread I post on?
yup, brain damage
he has no new maerial
and the old material wasn't good to begin with
I say you just pack up and leave, Gene said when you leave he'll give everyone nacho popcorn
I've "insinuated" that you are as dumb as rocks. Now whether that is your training prerogative to be "punch dumb", something your mother did to you while young, or something innate, I don't know. But in nearly every post you've had seems to be a gaping wound of stupidity.
