Not Wah Lum, except the arm movement in the breathing section.
Flavor is more like the 'Roads' of Tam Tui.
Isn't that the taste of trite?
Ghost in the Machine
Yeah, I don't disagree.
Could be just the word biomechanics that has a machine-like ring to it...purely semantics.
My point is that in cases above, and also found in some...
The 'Internal' is more than a way of practice, and one finds its metaphorical description in Western athletics also, as in the following passage:
Athletes call flow experience being in the "zone"...
Best ratio of pulling to pressing upper body exercises for MA = 2 to 1
Add Chins variations
Inverted row variations
DB row variations
Cable pull variations

To me Internal MA places an emphasis on feeling, on a refinement of proprioceptive ability over action.
People who laugh at the Internal (and there is no doubt plenty of blowhards to be laughed...
Hi KJW,
"Hip popping", could be O.K.. Hip "grinding", Not O.K..
People's hip structure varies, person to person. People who drop into splits with ease prove nothing beyond what they can do...

Best is if you can place it in the middle of the North wall, facing South. That way the faces of the ancestors are 'warmed' by the southern energy.

The use of any willow species should be tempered with the knowledge of the serious problems that exist in the form of diseases, insects, nematodes and aggressive root systems. Some of the...

Best trees for healing are often evergreens, they 'know' more about 'holding' their chi since they don't lose their leaves like the deciduous trees do. Best age for healing in trees is the adolescent...

The movement is basically the same as being in a split, turn body to left, put chest on thigh...so that's how you train it. Also see Hurdler's Stretch...when you can get your torso against your front...
They got no ground game!:D
Hi Madhusudan,
i take the olympic bar with a 25 plate on each end and do these uninterupted:
