Hi laotse.
The michuan is awesome. I started learning it in November (maybe December) and it's really cool.
I have heard a lot about Master Hu. I remember hearing he came to our school to do a seminar a while ago, mainly on throwing (before I was doing taiji). I've been anxious for him to come back again for some throwing work, because I've heard he's just so unbelievably good, but I'm not sure my back is strong enough to take it.
When KFO moved to where it is now from the old address, some things got messed up. One of those things was that a WHOLE lot of the people on the forum suddenely had registered in 1969 or 1970. I've actually only been here about a year, probably a few months less.
Welcome to the forum! I'm sure you'll find some good information from some knowledgeable practitioners, if you can wade through a lot of the crap. (political B.S., challenges, that sort of thing)
