As for a fighting stance, I don’t think of fighting from a stance as much as I think of movement skips, steps, shuffles that move you in and out of stances. Stance just seem to be such a static...

yes I ‘m glad your alive as well, you are quite a nice guy. I was directing my comment to 18, I also agree that Shr laoshi is AN authority, what was missed in my post was the word THE. So...

Take any stance and just stand there with it and you can be swept on your ass, some may seem easier than others but a static stance can be swept. Mantis is mobile and adaptive, the stance I think we...

Flem,

I can go with that. I like the middle way as well, more mobile less ware and tear .

Flem,
I don’t think it’s about things being taught to look cool for demos, you see this stylized difference in much of Zhang bing dao’s movement, as well as other mainland mantis I’ve seen. I love...

Ah yes china trips w/ MC, no one tells you any thing, as far as I know it is 7* . I think more than the form I tend to be more into exploring the movement and power generation. How the rotations work...

April looks good for me . Making plans to go , looking forward to meeting new friends and seeing lots of old ones

Do it all, if you like them.

As for it all being too much on your body, you probably need to train harder, and will adapt in time.

Both sound like fun and that’s the only reason to do any...

I was there no one knows what went on. 18 shadow kicks seems to be one of those secrets saved for Mimi. Ask her what it’s like and she can tell you but then she will have to kill you lol. As for...

happy kiwi

I’ve been looking at Peter lim’s site, wow! This guy has put some work into putting all this together, fascinating stuff. I love to read this and think about how things were and who did...

Hey guys this is getting a bit long winded. But lets try this again, I hear a lot about your preference to use palms but that’s not the point!! Is it?

You can punch from contact.You may not think...

I think if you would stay focused on the post you would see that the discussion is Taiji punching and its place in Taiji, not would a palm work better.

To that point of palm striking I love them...

I don’t see the point. We are not talking about what is better punch or palm; it was about punching in Taiji. As far as the set up for the articles case on punching, most police are not trained in...

Spj
From your post I see that you do recognize that there are a variety of punch references in Taiji, and thank you for the eloquent elucidation of them.

[QUOTE]
Punching necessitates tensing...

Are you saying there is no punching in a Taiji player’s arsenal of fighting options?
Drilling punches off of contact is easily done. Why would a martial art not retain this option? It is plainly...

We often lose our focus; mantis and CMA in general have a deep history in self-cultivation. It seems that all of this small talk is off the mark! People would do better to spend their time training...
