MY FRIEND, your stupidity reveals your very low level of martial arts -- for that I will forgive you and end with two things.

1) You don't know me, what I have studied, for how long, and in what...

My friend you came here asking for help, don't be upset if you hear something you weren't expecting. As for the trouble you are having, seems like you're in a stage of training where it would do you...

OK. Here's you're problem: You're doing Taiji and most of it is full of crap. Now, before everyone jumps down my throat hear me out.

The problem you are having makes total sense and instead of...

I would go so far as to say Taiji is getting close. It could be revived, but its lifesigns are growing dim.

I think its a little premature to judge a teacher by his students (maybe they are stupid and lazy) or by what he DOESN'T show.

You can come to my house and I may force you to watch hours of pbs...

I elect TaijiBob as poster of the month for offering valid opinions in a non-offensive manner.:)

Bob, you continue to show all sides of martial arts in a positive, realistic light without once...

To Moashan:

Sir, I agree with you and I respect your passion. To say that I don't care about the state of Chinese martial arts would be untrue. Of course I do. And, I respect your passion for your...

I don't understand the myth being exposed here. I thought it was long understood that most martial artists aren't worth a $hit when it came time to throw down.

What I really don't understand is...

There is also the other side of the coin: A master kicks a$$ with his method and then people dismiss it as simply boxing. They don't see the technique in there so its just boxing.

So, some want...

These last two are the best two posts you guys have ever laid down. Well said.

I would have to agree with all of your points, especially the one above. But its the way that you guys make them. Sounds like your more into promoting yourself then Ba Gua. Why? Because you make it...

I know who you think I am. But that is my boy. His teacher has asked that he no longer post here until he is ready. His teacher does not believe he is ready to stand behind his words yet. So, you are...

10 on 1 at the tournament? Now I definitely have to go. Now, is this all Ba Gua, or would you accept a combination of Park Ba Gua, Yee Hung Gar, ect., ect. But even 10 Park Ba Gua, you're setting...

I have to say, pretty fuuny -- and there has been an awful lot of words written about a man that nobody here has faught ( a major no no, and quite surprising since all the experts here seem to...

My thoughts against a steady weight lifting regement follow this logic, and its just my two cents:

Internal arts are supposed to be about avoiding direct conflict with incoming power, ie, do not...

Yes. Good article.

I knew my "empty words" would be filled with prejudgements and forthcoming words would be necessary.

First, from what BT says, seems like he has had no problem finding good teachers. Second, I...

PS

Also worth a mention. Those who know, don't seak. There's nothing more to see.

They also don't judge, for in their judgements they judge themselves (there's a little Marley mixed with the...

Something worth mentioning:

Who the hell are you? That is exactly what many skilled martial artist think when someone walks in the door. And, more preciesely, think of it this way BT, a black man...

BT, what you say is true, but not just BG but MA in genaral.

Anyway, will you be fighting in the upcoming tournament?

This man is the fourth generation inheritor of Imperial Palace Ba Gua under Master Wong, who got it from Gung Po Tien, who got it from the founder.

He is also...

Sounds like you guys had a great martial experince. Congrats.

I would like to adress this quote though: "The internal aspect is just moving efficiently. "

In a broad sense, almost true. That is...

CDlee, the thing is, a internal master would aproach physical labor like an internal master. Think of a sledge hammer. You can use one -- a heavy one -- all day, and still not tense your muscles like...

I'm reading a lot of pro-weight lifting comments on this board, but am a little confused. Isn't the point of most internal technique to gain an advantage wihtout being against, or fighting the...

You have a great attitude Razak! Best of luck to you.

By the way, are you going to the tournament? If so, what division and weight class will you be fighting in?

How about everybody else?
