Nexus,
I'm sure you're a great guy. But I can't figure out what world you're living in. :) The way you speak strikes me as exactly the sort of person who has dragged down the image of tai chi in...

Second at the heart of tai chi is peng jing. It can be explained on a biomechanical level.

Well, I personally believe in the constant and persistent existance of chi, and accept it without actually being able to accurately and fully describe it. ...

Actually, Richard Mooney, who was given a multi-page free ad by Kung Fu/Qigong magazine earlier this year, was tested in a double-blind study by an M.D. and a Ph.D.
He completely failed. You can...
Hi,
I read the article with great interest in the new issue of Kung Fu/Qigong magazine -- the one in which Gene undergoes the "no-touch knockout" challenge.
Gene makes the comment (and I don't...
Ahhh, someone who disagrees with my point of view calls me a "small minded twit" and other names.
In an earlier post on this board, someone (I believe Brad?) said that he thought the posts on my...
You misinterpreted my comments. Please have the flexibility of mind to understand tongue-in-cheek when you read it. The problem with emails and discussion boards is that you can't hear the...
I will add that my beliefs are my own. They are not necessarily shared by any of my teachers.
I've never heard either Chen Xiaowang or Ren Guangyi talk about miraculous chi powers. In fact, in...
Hi Greendragon,
I'm afraid that tai chi was created as a martial art. I've been studying martial arts since 1973. My main purpose is not to "kick butt." I learned how to do that a long time ago. ...
Hi Guys,
Great debate you have going.
I'm not sure why the debates on my site would be seen as hateful. It is no more hateful to call a chi "master" a fraud if he claims to move people without...
Cagey,
I was responding primarily to those who would use the word "troll" and other words that don't really express anything intelligent.
You have your opinions and that's fine. I used blunt...
Hi Guys,
I don't delete posts from my message board when people disagree with me. Anyone who thinks this way is mistaken. That's why, if you look at the board, you'll see a LOT of people who...

Gee, Rich -- the people that you were trying to move in the Randi test had no idea why they were there. It was a double-blind study, which is the only true way to verify claims such as...
Hi Gene,
I was glad to see you responded to the posts on this board. I understand your view about printing an article by Mooney, without editing or questioning his validity.
However, I disagree...
Hi Rich -- Thanks for finally speaking out.
I think it's interesting that someone like you, who calls himself "qimaster" and has tapped into this amazing universal source of energy, would be so...
I was so disappointed that Kung Fu/Qigong magazine printed the Mooney article and allowed itself to become a forum and an advertising vehicle for a fraud.
Richard Mooney was tested in a double...
