gee,

why would anyone think that Doug Wile never studied tjq? I'm not sure it would even be possible to translate a cma book without having practiced it. The last poster is right, though. ...

Hi,

A little more complicated than it was put, but the lung does have lobes. I've never heard that the filling of them was not autonomic. ...

Hi Count,

yeah, I agree, everyone is entitled to his own feelings. I admit that I have not surfed the guy's site. Unfortunately, if he says what he does, I'm not really interested in listening...

Hi Count,

just a few clarifications since you seem to have misread me or I have been unclear. You wrote:

Depending on what you mean by...

Hi,

haven't looked at the site in question. But, I did want to say something about the Chinese racism thing. I'm African American, btw. Anyway, I don't think the attitude of Chinese from China...

Hi,

hmm, doya think that Bill Mahoney could beat only the fake IMArtists? Personally, it'd be interesting to see NFL linebackers or WWE champs attend some of these seminars. I suspect that they...

Hi Brucelee2,

I've got no idea about a connection between the "internal" martial arts and "voodoo." I think, though, that if you changed Voodoo to "beliefs of African origin," then I think the...

Hi,

I guess you're right, comportment will get you only so far. It's a little like self control, ymmv. Maybe, "how you handle yourself" might make more sense. Fwiw, I grew up, live, and work in...

Hi taijiquan_student,

well, I posted it, so I owe you a reply. My own, strictly personal view is that "why" one fights is more important than "who" or "how." I think "why" one fights is the...

Hi,

well, fwiw, my opinion is that the world will not be a better or safer place if everyone becomes a trained fighter, or kiiller, let alone if everyone learns to enjoy it. As far as Gene's post...

Hi Wujidude,

this doesn't mention his teaching, but it is from Cheng Zhenglei's site

Chen Zheng Lei, rigorously following the method which was used in ancient times in Chinese families to hand...

Hi Wujidude, RAF,

do you know who the Chen style teacher was at the Central Guoshou Academy in Nanking during those years (1928 to c193)?

Respects,

Hi Ten Tigers, RAF,

well, I'd still argue that it's unusual, but not impossible by any means. Most boxers are trained by pgople who'd they would mop of the floor with. What I meant was that it...

Hi Raf,

I agree that it shows a lot that so many people need to say that they've defeated Li Jinglin. I'd never heard these, though.

"Li Jinglin met Wang Xiangzhai (founder of yiquan) in...

Hi Gene,

thanks for the reply. I think you're right that some of the articles in Wulin are difficult to translate, or just uninteresting in terms of text. But, I think there'd be a market for...

Hi Gene,

has there been any thought on, or have you ever considered getting parts of Wulin magazine translated and published in English?

Best,
Esteban

Thanks,

Esteban

Hi Shaolin Master,

is there a website you would recommend where the information you provide is also presented? If not, could you mail or post a list of the names in your forms --just for...

Hi SM,

is this the standard history of Zhaobao? I mean, are there other histories that are not the same? I am copying what you write, and I'd like to put it into a context.

Hi Dre,

good luck in your training. I hope you don't mind if I tell you a story. A friend of mine, who happens to be very religious, was brought to a bar for a party. At this place there was a...

Hi Kaitain,

fwiw, I think your instructor is telling you exactly the right thing. Sure, there are traps, the main one being that one fools oneself into thinking that one's "feelings" are correct,...

Hi,

just happened on to your question. The problem with talking about CMC "style" is that he had many students, and it's not easy, for an American, especially, to answer for the rest of the...
