Man injures ***** while doing qigong

[PaulLin]

Well, that is an other "more difficult to do, the better in kung fu" blind follower. Ture, many of high kung fu/qi kung skills are difficult to do, but not all difficult to do stuffs are high kung fu/qi kung. Must be careful.

My lord how do people take the risk I mean how could you live with out it i mean its more important than any thing i would rather die than have it off I dont know how i could part with it

According to Master Tu, it's all about power generation. Your privates are powerful, no doubt about that. He claims that this qigong practice will cultivate your powers. FWIW, Master Tu is very powerful, one of the most powerful masters I have seen. Also at that demo, he chopped a steel pipe in half with his hand. That's a really unusual break - a steel cylindrical tube has a great deal of structural integrity. Mind you, he didn't just crimp the pipe. He chopped in clean in two. I'd hang a weight off myself if it gave me that kind of power.

That is which I think why qi kung should be scientifically annalyzed and explained. It is no more than how to use your mind and the relations of the rest of the world to create the chemical/physical result that was desiered. I don't think hanging heavy weights at that body part has to do with achieving greater power.

What if qi isn't chemical/physical? Then it would be tough to measure. By defination, it isn't. It depends on how much you beleive in science.

The sony corporation did a $55 million dollar study on Extra Sensory Perception and it was ongoing until the funding got cut for other projects. One of the blind studies was done with chi kung, where chi kung masters were brought into a room to project qi into a glass of water. Then another Master would be brought in with a set of glasses in front of him and he was told to determine which one had the qi projected to it. The results were higher than placebo effect for effectiveness ranging in the 75-80% range.

Science is just a small part of Tao. Tao, yet, when you believe in it, it seems to be real, and seems to be nonexisted when you don't believe it. No matter any one believe it or not, Tao will still be the same, no change. The only thing that changed is the consequences of the individual who choose to believe or not believe it. Qi is a physical applying of Tao, by mimic the nature's cycle of changing in energy, using human body. Science and physics are just a material way to approaching and understanding this phenomenon as an outsider. Qi kung is the study of being such phenomenon, as the soul/life unit itself. That is why if your mind wave pattern(believer) matched the energy changing patern(qi) then it seems to be real. If they don't match, then of course it seems not real.

No wonder the funding got cut, why don't they test qi on some thing more useful? The success of recognize qi in water won't give any advantage of continuing the funding.

If you can project qi into water, you could project it into anything. Also remember that the study was done on ESP in general and not chi kung specifically. This was done in the 1980's, and apparently their purpose was spending a buck rather than making one, which obviously gives us a clue as to why the funding got cut.

Well, if they can test on project qi into a tank and make the driver pass out, I am almost sure that funding will never be lacking.

Master Tu's Iron Crotch has viagra-like side effects. You think he'll make any money on it?
BTW, I'm in the process of translating some of his videos. I'm currently working on his Dragon Bone Qigong (resist the temptation to pun, please.) It's quite good, irregardless of the crotch stuff.

irregardless????

I have no idea about what you are talking about. Never heard of Dragon Bone Qigong. My line of Qigong is aiming for using the postnatal to nourish the prenatal qi. We do looking forward to take more of infant-like appearent effects with living power (not dead power). If you see my GM Wong ShuJing, the one described by Robert Smith, you can get some idea of it.

By the way, is there a sample of some thing that we can see what Dragon Bone is like? A sneak preview perhaps?

[GeneChing]

Dragon Bone is Long Gu in mandarin. I'd never heard of it before working on this video, but it makes sense. It's rooted in Zhuang Zi, and 5 animal play. Dragon Bone has 7 animals. The only way you can get a preview is to sit behind me at my desk here as I work on it. Come on, man, I'm working on it now. We'll probably post a snippet on MartialArtsMart.com like we do with most of our videos, but that will only be after it's done, sometime before the holidays.

And I say irregardless since the Iron Crotch thing always overshadows everything else. But as a matter of fact, Master Tu is very skilled beyond pulling trucks. Extraordianry skills, really.

[Walter Joyce]

and I say because I can't believe a man of your stature writes "irregardless."

Main Entry: ir·re·gard·less
Pronunciation: "ir-i-'gärd-l&s
Function: adverb
Etymology: probably blend of irrespective and regardless
Date: circa 1912
nonstandard : REGARDLESS
usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.
