Hi Mat,
Im sorry to say my trip to China ended up falling though, I still hope to go but ill probarly have to wait a while yet i think.
Still i continue to train and even teach a bit of basic self defence stuff to a bunch a bratty high school kids (who are all great but are driving me nuts).
So sadly i dont have experiences from China i can tell you about, still i have to say - i dont think you *have* to travel to china to find people who know how to express there art.
Still i definately do want to go, if only so i can get stuck there with absolutely no ability to leave. That and i hear they have dim mak charts there that allow you to pretend you have the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Up and down, forward and backward, left and right, its all the same. All of this is done with the mind, not externaly.
