It seems to me you have already concluded that QiGong won't work, if so, stop. "Yi leads Qi" (mind/awareness leads Chi), and it seems your mind is not willing explore the potential.....

Generally, we see the world, not as it is, but as we prefer it to be.. and, sometimes, there is insufficient data to make a verifiable determination one way or the other.. i have...

Hi TGY: Thanks for the input.. yep, i considered your explanations, i considered Knifefighter's placebo explanation, and.. i just don't know.. and, i'm okay with that.. i don't hold...

Again, it is solely my mistake.. i assumed people's reading and comprehension skills could see past their their petty prejudices.. 'some amazing stuff' is intentionally used to avoid...

Cool, you win.. you are the man.. nothing is possible without your approval or without Mr. Randi's giving his money away.. BTW, i frequently refer people to Mr. Randi's offer.. i am...

Hi: I've got your back on this.. i can't explain what happend with SKL, it was unexpected, and.. maybe unrelated.. but, i will not wear blinders.. I train hard, we put on gloves...

You hear what you want to hear for the conflict you seek..

Don't thank me, Bill.. i call it like i see it.. this thread was enjoying some decent discussion, now this.. this forum...

Nice!! You weren't there, you speak from no knowledge, that's arrogant and stupid.. I would have said the same thing prior to the incident, and it had nothing to do with MA.. SKL...

Hi Bill, and Knifefighter.. i think the differences are seeking to define themselves in opposition.. it is my hope that we might look for what is useful and favorable between the...

Hi Bill: 'If at all possible", is the key.. when it's not possible, your life may depend on training and experience.. to be honest, how much actual 'technique' was trained at the...

Hi VD: Yes, it is awesome.. some well-trained skills, and understanding.. it is my belief and hope that Taijiquan can and will achieve and surpass that level of play.. i hope Master Scrima can keep...

Best explanation i've had.. a teacher was asked what Qi, is.. he thought for a moment, then walked to the corner where a 'blessing bird' vendor was selling the birds (they take...
