Here is the way I see it. You're most likely to come out alive by fighting a well trained martial artist. He probably has honor and will not kill you.

If that badass you speak of was begging for...

I have seen street fights go on my entire life. And I can say without a doubt that the link you showed me did not show a real thug or a real street fight, but more a wannabe or just a sparring video...

The black guy who is supposed to be a "thug" stops his half assed punches to pull his pants up. That's not a real fight, it's like a "sparring for camera" fight. A real thug will keep swinging...

I enjoy reading threads like this. I was born into the streets of Los Angeles. All my life outside of my apartment there is gang writing (graffiti) everywhere. Even on the trees. It's their way of...

Before you posted this video, I was about to say all these "practical" taichi videos look like amateur sumo fights. Which of course a sumo would own. So I don't really think what they're doing is...

I couldn't have said it better myself. That's why I think it's ridiculous for teachers to be charging so much for monthly classes. I think $60-$80 a month should be the most. Anymore than that and I...

In the past I used to find good teachers that teach their art almost for free. Often you would give them donations in red envelopes, or pay a little something every month to keep renting the grounds...

I actually think you hit the nail on the head. Very good explanation for Qigong. I even learned a bit about the history of "hatters".

Mickey,
When I work out I do go to my very limits and past. I do several sets on different machines, basically what most do at the gym. I will look into PHA and yoga. When I meditate I do not expect...

I was actually challenging and am still challenging Qigong. The way I was taught it, was in a way where it seemed to have cures for almost everything. And it didn't help me with anything physical...

I don't still have high blood pressure. It is at a normal level now. I took the meds for about two months, and don't take them all the time now, and my blood pressure is normal now.

But working...

I put the Qigong I learned to the test for a good amount of time, and it didn't work. If someone else did this I would want to know. I am a truth seeker no bullsh*t with me. If you have to practice...

TaiChiBob,
Right now, my main health problems are just what I mentioned. And I haven't completely made up my mind that Qigong doesn't work, I am open minded, but I do try to be practical. If Qigong...

I did 2 forms for my blood pressure. One where you massaged the fingertips left to right. And another where you stand up and release evil heat towards the sky, while letting good chi enter you...

Maybe you didn't read what I posted Scott, but I work out 5x a week. Cardio, and weight lift. When I go to the gym I don't drive, I jog almost 3 miles. All that and the Qigong did not lower my blood...

taai gihk yahn,
My teacher believes that Qigong can almost cure everything. That is why I compared it to Western medicine. Because if you have money, good health insurance like Western medicine can...

taai gihk yahn,
I was practicing 1 technique faithfully for the hbp. That involved massaging my finger tips from left to right. Then I had 2 more that I was doing occasionally. One where you stand...

I am not here to offend people, or to troll Qigong, but after practicing it for about 6 months now I have really been questioning as to how practical it really is. I am an open minded person, but I...
