Baqualin.......I think what the doctor was meaning was it wasn't going to be like kicking or punching a solid object like a heavy back or sparring that could possibly jar and damage the fused vertibrae. Baqualin, you might know this doctor (actually the P.A.. He studied SD here in Lexington back in the 80's. I can't remember his first name but his last name is Kibble and he is at the U.K. Clinic. Do you know or remember him?

Neither did I.......there's a difference between a system and aspects of a system........I don't look at Hsing I as healing..... I spoke only of certain types of Tai Chi & Baqua

It's great just to hear fellow martial artists talk about the importance of internal training. You won't find that conversation in most karate or Take Your Do schools. Internal arts is one of the great things about kung fu.
All one can really do is what the doc tells you on a surgery recovery, especially if it is sport related. I have had two major injuries from training and I specifically went to a sports med physician. On one of the injuries I had major shoulder surgery, metal, bicep reattachment and all. MA training was not the initial cause of this but just aggravated the injury over time like any sport activity would.
Anyway, I worked on stances and Chi Kung exercises for 6 months while I had this contraption/sling on my shoulder The doc would not let me have any contact on the shoulder area for that amount of time. The important thing is to have some kind of activity to keep from getting in the dumps. It is tough for us martial artists to be told we can't do something and even tougher knowing we can't to it to our full potential.
I can see where the internal arts can be harder on the body. When I practice I Chin Chings, I sweat like crazy. This could be due to the body just getting rid of its impurities though. My opinion is to do what you can and not over do it, but most importantly, listen to your doc and physical therapist. Good luck to you mkriii. I know it is frustrating since I been there.

Over do is the primary cause of over training syndrome and injury it is better to train daily at 65 to 80 % than 100% all the time of course some say one cant train at 100% at all. One can an always do more. KC

I've been getting into this guy named Porf Jou lately. Not as much to learn his style, but to learn his Taoist influenced philosophy on martial arts. As he says in this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4FT_ETpcOA
If you flow the form with little power 1000 times, then you only need to use full power but once to master it. I tried doing that in this video of me practicing in the park: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao2VIZvWj94
I didn't flow it correctly at least once or twice, and I was all self conscious after some old Chinese lady was making fun of me ("oh, are you doing kung fu, hiya!!"), so it's not my best performance.

I agree. It doesn't do you any good to go all out and train 100% if your injured most of the time. I'd rather train at 75% or 80% and not be injured than to train at 100% and be injured with a sprain or torn muscle most of the time. It just doesn't do you any god.

Yes steroids are quite popular among pro athletes and amateur athletes as well. I just won't resort to using them. Its not worth it legally or from a health standpoint. I've known a few people that did them and you could tell when they were cycling. They were all bloated and looked all puffy, then in three or four weeks they had shrunk back down to normal size for a few weeks. They would constantly fluctuate like this. And they would work out on weights like a mad man.
