mmm yeah? .. you really told the world with that one. Everyone here is very serious and should instead post stupid drivel. At least you can stand up for what is important to you.

Some people ... well as he said he wanted to join a 'cheap ass club' that already sounded troubling, now this night crying thing along with the emotional outbursts about westerners. It all paints a...

Poor kid. Sorry to hear that he made such a mess of his life.
Being a westerner wishing to be Chinese must not be easy for him either.

I am sorry to see just how low this board can go. I have...

Wow, you figured me out!

Enjoying making people mad for fun (trolling) on the net is not a novel or unique pastime, it is very common. Admitting that this is what you prefer to do does not excuse or negate a basic rudeness...

Sumo is so practical and useful?

I hope by posting my out of shape, wobbly token foreign student video on the internet and teaching some students I did not make you feel less important than you really are. I have no intention to...

Hey you know, I am actually an adult and I am just not likely to find value in a ****ing match with you online, really that is passe.

I have not talked myself up at all here. I posted some videos...

Seems you are well versed in that story. Those who know me, including my students, know I don't milk anyone for anything. You may be speaking from your own experience, but in the reality outside...

No problem really. Maybe I am just a bit dated and a bit traditional. The people I learned from would never have shown nearly as much as I have and that is the tradition. In the old days they...

I am sure you can twist it to create a debate, but it is pretty simple really.
The videos are there, people can see it is authentic Taijiquan including both martial methods and all the other health...

I generally don't take anyone seriously and don't care at all if they cannot actually meet me in person. If they cannot actually visit a class and a teacher to check out a school then they are...

You guys assume a LOT, and this is a problem found exclusively on the internet. Just as you state that 'red flags' may come up due to some sort of demonstration video, there are also red flags that...

That is a very old debate of course.
I am a big fan of 'underlying principles' but they alone cannot be used to attain the actual practical method. There are a very good number of actual techniques...

Starts to look like the debate comes full circle:

Applications should be trained against attacks that will happen.
But Different types of attacks will happen.
And, different applications may be...

regarding the links posted, well glad to see someone is dealing with punch and parry at least sort of.
Still don't not cover the territory I am looking for, but nice to see something.
I hope those...

I am stating that these methods are rare to see at all in Chen Taijiquan.
If you know what I am (or you are) talking about on this count (which is now quite in doubt due to your repeated inability...

I really do get this by now. These 'lessons' videos are not what you want, and I, or someone, should feel that what you want is more important than what we want.

Additionally, the methods shown...

Firstly, I made the site many years ago.
Secondly, again you seek non-existent conflict. I AM preserving this art, by practicing it and teaching it authentically, in person. I do not need to teach...

I believe you will notice that I especially did demonstrate non-stationary footwork in those videos. In fact my footwork is rather the focus of the video is it not? Stepping to create different...

Before you get too deep into this area of discussion, please realize that I am not out to save the world, the Taijiquan world, the 'internal' world or any other world. I am not involved in that. I...

You seem to be looking to create a conflict where there is none.
You've just decided that I 'needed' someone's understanding simply because they offered it? I simply thanked him for it, where does...

What might you be referring to?
Apparently you have made some mistake. Nothing in this thread, nor those videos on youtube has ever been labeled or even included the word "sparring". Nothing was...

My point was that I was NOT upset, therefore you did not need to let me know not to get upset about critique. I have not been the least defensive, just standing behind my view and letting you all...

Hey take it easy fire chief.. I don't think you can see me getting all upset behind the keyboard can you? I am not particularly worried if you are being critical or not, that is your right. ...
