We have been having similar problems at EF. Our moderator ending up banning the person trolling.

If all you do is practice without a partner it won't get you very far, but it is not completely useless.

The first art I studied was based on working applications with a partner. Yes, we had form...

Welcome to 2003.

I'd suggest visiting Plum Flower press and buying a copy of the CD containing all of the old ba gua journals.

There is a ton of information there.

I'm just curious what the basis for your statement that "taiji is the father of martial arts" since there is no historical or factual basis for that claim.

Don't get me wrong, Taiji is great when...

Is it true what they say about the traditional under garb, or lack thereof in traditional kilt wearing?

Your checkbook?

Anone,

It does. Thank you for responding so thoroughly.

I think you nailed the reason why you are getting such harsh treatment, sifu worship. Loyalty is nice, but it should be tempered with a...

I agree that strength training should be a part of your overall program, but suggest...

Wow, guess you told us.

But how do you have no issues with something and then label it lacking in...?


Does the phrase internally inconsistent mean anything to you?

Well that would suck.

If they don't talk, how can you ever learn from them?

I find your post to be inaccurate factually. There may be a small contingent at EF that maintain there is no difference between internal and external methods, but they are in the minority.

I think he was booted because he was just trolling.

I don't think it's CMA, I think its internet forums in general.

There are a finite number of topics, and after they have been covered it's just politics.

I guess you could say 2+, but 4 year old thread is more accurate. I think it got resurrected because of another current thread elsewhere.

If I remember corectly, Frank studied quite a bit with BK Frantzis.

I think that is a different John Wang.

Where in Massachusetts?

Jim,

Nice posts.

I removed my post because you are correct. I posted hastily and didn't read the original post correctly.

Having said that, while I have made attempts to engage in the study of lineage, I find the...
