    I can't do any jumping or high kicks without it aggravating my back. Also, had to quit BJJ because every time I rolled back onto my tailbone it caused a disc bulge and caused a lot of pain/numbness....

    I've recently seen some videos of Baji where the teacher is using some moves similar to the sau chui. Primarily it's a forearm strike. So I think it can be found in Northern styles.

    IMO, the jin used is very different. Chen Taiji looks relaxed but is like a stiff steel spring inside. Choy Lay Fut is more whip-like, using centrifugal force to generate power.

    Other styles that use sau chui?

    I've been spending most of my time studying chen tai chi lately, but I've been trying to find a technique that might have some connection to CLF sau chui in tai chi. Chen tai chi and CLF share some...

    One door close, another one opens.

    Print magazines are going the way of the dodo, so it was probably inevitable. Hopefully, you can develop new online revenue sources that will keep the content flowing.

    Anyways, thanks for letting...

    Where are all the threads?

    What happened to all the threads that used to be in these forums?
  18. How can CLF forms from different lineages look so different?

    When you compare forms with the same name, they are completely different in terms of content and sequence. It's almost as if they are different styles.
