How so?

Uh...actually Quantum Physics is the study of physics on the subatomic level.

ROTFLMFAO!!!

:D :D ;)

I just don't think that the number zero should be used because it has philosophical implications that come from a different culture. I could be incorrect here but I'm pretty sure that the Chinese...

I thought that:

Wu Ji is not nothing. Or no extreme, no polarity, no separation.

The number 0=no thing.

Therefore, Wu Ji doesn't = 0.

Weird but Wu Ji can only be explained by a double...

True. But we're not talking about sedentary out of shape people vs. athletic people.

When talking about martial artists we're talking about people who are generally athletic but are looking for...

In short, I think jogging sucks.

Because you have to do it for a long time and it is a high impact exercise you end up with repetitive use injuries .....like plantar fasciae injuries, knee and...

Obvious troll but with just enough pseudo-sincerity and poor use of english to pull in some newbs. ;)

My opinion is that form work can provide the type of cardio you need for fighting provided that you do it in the right way....however, the same can be said about running.

Jogging, IMHO is...

Me....

The waist must move in coordination with the whole body, not separate from it. You see guys swinging there waists around in a see-saw type action, pointing there dan tien around, but that's not...

Well where do I start....

Let me start by saying that I am a student of both internal and external methods of fighting. Notice I say "student" and not teacher. I may be a teacher someday but even...

No. Totally disagree.

You mean on the ground? Ooh gross!!

How 'bout "rolling" with a Taiji guy on your feet. ;)

I think a focused and agressive mind is useful in EMA's. However, in Taiji the focus is to relaxation and a calm mind so that the body can follow suit..it's much more like sitting meditation. Its a...

So you don't think the techniques only work with in the context of a certain strategy? I don't follow.




No, the strategy only works if you have the body mechanics and the techniques to...

Except IMA's idea of "relaxation" goes way beyond external arts concept of relaxation.

In IMA's you have to become so relaxed you become like something with no bones, like a big bag of water.

...

But in these examples, you are using techniques that reflect a strategy and are supported by certain body mechanics.

If you did Taiji, for example, the strategy would be different. You would not...

Since this seems to be the crux of your argument. Let's discuss:

What is YOUR strategy. Define, por favor. ;)

You might also use a "counter jab" to block an incoming jab. It seems to work really well, as it can be equally as fast and if you wedge it to the inside of the opponents jabbing hand, it penetrates...

That's right...

The best defense is a good offense. ;)

Hmmm...I thought about adding "mindset" or "attitude."

The tricky thing is that it could be included in strategy OR body mechanics OR technique...... depending on the art.

For example, in...

I think there is a trio of things and that are inseparable to being a good fighter in your art.

1) Body Mechanics

2) Techniques

3) Strategies


If you do not have the correct body...

It is usually a bad idea to try to bridge onto a jab. As someone stated the jab is usually a distraction that sets up for the big payload strike.

My experience in sparring with boxers is that you...
