WTF are you on about now? Got under my skin how? By judging me? Go nutz. Do your worst. All good.
I think I have clearly displayed that I have no issue with "casting the first stone" and I look forward to it coming back at me. I have been quite clear about this. If I was worried about conflict I would just keep my mouth shut and not speak my mind. As it stands, I don't give a ****. You're words intrigue me on a "let's see just how dumb this cat really is" kind of way.
Two more things. First, show me a person w/o sin and I'll show you a fraud. Second, if you had half a brain, you would have made a clever pun out of my name with that lil quote. I can think of a few off the top of my head.
Fair enough. My bad. I mean, you just talked so much shit, I just assumed you had the ability to meet your own deadline. You know, the one where you talked tons of trash and told us all how wrong we were and how we would feel so dumb on the 25th. I sincerely apologize for being so wrong. Really, it was my bad.
That's good that you don't care what people say about this. What's not good is that you seem to be okay with signing cheques your ass can't cash then backing off like it was no bog deal. Fuck what I think of you, but you shouldn't lie to yourself like that. You know you done fucked up. Self acknowledgement would be a positive step in working on those delusions tho.

It's CMC move-for-move. Only the "hanging lotus" kick is turned into a side thrust, and there's no stepping in the cloud hands.
There's no debate. It's the same form, exactly other than those two differences. People may play it differently stylistically, but the sequence of motions is 100% exact, and SD guys try to make it last too long (as if they were doing 108 postures). CMC always intended his form to be short (10 minutes). If SD wants a long tai chi form, seems it ought to practice a long form.
Waysun Liao published a book on Tai Chi called the "Tai Chi Classics" in which he posted drawings of a "Temple" tai chi form in the back, with postures / descriptions. Guess what? It was the CMC form, move-for-move. Personally, I think both guys (Waysun / gMS) had hte same misinformation, either consciously or ignorantly.
Yep, that's another point I noticed. Someone in SD/CSC must have read that the traditional Yang form is meant to take 20+ minutes, and assumed that their 64/37 form was the same thing. The 64/37 should take 10-12 minutes at the most, 8 minutes or so at average speed, according to Cheng Man Ching.
"I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udun! Go back to the shadow, you cannot pass!"
LOL. 2001, so no. If anything, pub. dates would work the opposite there and GMS would be the originator. (And Waysun Liao claims to have been taught by a "wandering" Taoist....or a CHinese bum...I can't recall). But I doubt he originated that claim ("Temple Tai CHi"). Some people call CMC's 37 posture short form "Temple" tai chi under the mistaken notion that it's ancient----or some BS like that. But then, many styles fallaciously claim "Temple" lineage, and whatnot (and of course we're including SD here).
It doesn't matter, though. CMC created our form as an abridgment of the long form in Taiwan in the 60's, or something like that. There's no debating it--and GMS would not have to learn the form by book. He could learn it from thousands of people in a weekend. GMS even has the particulars of CMC's practice---light shaking, small postures, no classically "pretty" motions characteristic of health tai chi. CMC's tai chi is great, but you'll notice that he almost looks "sloppy" (I think it looks great) because he doesn't exert himself in the form.
As for his (CMC's) push hands...he looks good, but he always had hte upper hand when it came to leverage. CMC was 1/2 as tall as most white guys, and the white guys in his videos were always crouched over when CMC was standing tall and even rooted. They didn't have a chance in push hands. Not taking aways from his skill---just his performances.
The first book I read on tai chi 9 years ago was Liao's book, and not knowing much about Tai CHi at the time, I figured hte likeness in terminology/form between him and SD was evidence of common ancestry.
And then I found CMC's treatises by happenstance and realized that there were two guys out there doing CMC's form under the mistaken notion that it was the "original" form from the temple. LOL.
Right. I realize that going super slow is great for beginners, and even practice in which you intend to fix particulars of a motion. But it makes no sense when you're practicing daily to get the "feeling" of tai chi---getting the tai chi form into your bones, so to speak. 8-10 minutes is far more agreeable and enlightening, and it improves your footwork greatly. Super slow tai chi always seems to have ****ty footwork, since they overanalyze weight distribution.
What the hell is 70%-30%. It's always a guess, and a shoddy one. The point is--where are you rooted, where are you off balance, and can you transition smoothly so that you can plant your foot in your opponent's defense without him noticing before it's too late. I can only laugh when some people say---I think you're about 5% too heavy on that foot during rollback.
