Yes, I remember this thread. I was actually wondering why it was being brought up from the dead. ;)

So these are names for each of the moves in each routine. The book on tan tui I have does the...

I thought all the general principles and theory were the same for all styles, they just implement them somewhat differently, but it was worth checking. I'll put the book on my Amazon wishlist for...

I took a look over those articles and it looks like a few of them used the exact same press release. It sounds like an interesting book and I can put it on my list of ones to consider buying...

Others have posted good suggestions and tips. FWIW, back in high school I did track and cross-country and always work Asics running shoes. Unfortuantely, they didn't seem to be as popular as other...

Well, I'm not sure how to rank it with a number like the first post was suggesting. But I'd say I'm still in the beginner ranks, low level. I had about 2-3 years of classes covering northern...

Well, I don't have the spending money to be able to buy anything right now. And I don't think these will be near the top of the list when I do. They do look interesting, but as I kind of expected,...

I've only learned one bladed weapon form, a broadsword/knife form that our teacher called Seven Stars Knife. I actually learned it from a classmate since our teacher is no longer here, but the guy...

Well, I've only learned one staff form that our teacher called Monk Staff. I think he said it's a pretty basic form that lets you practice the basic moves and techniques of using a staff. We use a...

Hmm. That does look interesting. I may need to bookmark that site for future reference. Since you ordered, do you mind telling us how much the videos cost? I don't see a price on the web page. I...

No, I didn't do anything special for it. I just practiced at home. One of these days I should try to see if there's an event near me that I can go to. It would probably be fun.

Make it an unconcious person then, it should be the same thing.

I suspect others are right that it's probably a combination of her hand/arm position on the lifters' arms and her relaxing her body...

Oh, it took me a minute to realize that the little pink/red line on top of the huge blue filled curve was for female names. I guess with some names that are more commonly used for both males and...

FWIW, I've only been training about 1 year. I'll cross over into the 1-2 year category shortly, but I'm not quote there yet, so I voted for 1 year or less. I don't talk much on the boards here, so...

No, I have no idea where to find kung fu forms on the web. I looked around trying to find info on the style I'm learning and couldn't find much specific information at all. Some general stuff was...

Yes, I suppose that's true, NorthernShaolin. I guess the spirit/essence of the form is more important than the exact movements in it. Our teacher never gave any real explanation of them to us, none...

I think I didn't realize this was here when I was reviewing older topics after being away for a while. I hope bringing it up again isn't a problem. My main question right now is how alike are the...

I agree. Having all the posture names for forms like this is pretty cool. Unfortunately, I don't recognize a single one of the forms. Maybe I'm doing a different style or something then. I'd like...

Cute. :) I just gave it a try and got a 45 with 5 holes in one. Hole 17 was the toughest one for me. Maybe I'll try it again later to see if I can do any better now that I have a feel for how it...

Interesting. I purchased that book because I wanted to have a better idea of what the differences between the various styles of tai chi were like. I knew these were standardized routines that were...

I found another web board, MartialTalk.com, before this one and this same question turned up there a little while ago. I copied posture lists out of a couple books I had to answer the question...

I suppose you can substitute whatever liquid you want as long as the percentage of alcohol is about the same as what the recipe uses? You said that hu gu / tiger bone is very expensive. Is this...

I just got a copy of _The Art of Shaolin Kung Fu_ by Wong Kiew Kit and while skimming through it I noticed that there are a couple of recipes given. One of them says it's used for treating "bruises,...

FWIW, I thought the term McKwoon or McDojo was a take-off of McDonalds meant to imply they're everywhere, but nothing especially good. As for signs, I'm sure others who are more familiar with MA...

For what it's worth, when I first went to college, I had no emissions (as you put it) between when I arrived and when I went home on fall break, about 7 weeks. That would be about 50 days, give or...

OK, PJO, I understand why the hand waving move is there now. But doesn't this also help illustrate my point? His hands are rather far away from the guy's face in that move. Unless you were already...
