    mmmmm water. hey wait a minute, isn't that stuff like supposed to be free? I suppose you have to pay for the label and plastic landfill piece though. lol

    I don't see how this is any more of a scam than any other bottled water in the industrialized world which has pretty safe water to begin with. And if not, write your council member, etc etc.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    They would love this stuff over at Taobums forum

    There are some great people at Taobums but also some misguided ones. Stuck in the mindset I can buy my way to enlightenment. Many over there believe that you can emit Chi into water and change its properties.

    I guess people are buying this rubbish. I suppose it is no different to the false promises made by our products in the west. In particular anti-ageing creams for women with pseudo words like 'DNAge technology'.

    A bit of common sense goes a long way
    Thanks

    Anyone who buys this needs punched in the throat. That is all.

    I showed that to my newest student, a 13 year old kid w/ no previous martial arts experience or exposure....he looked at it about 4 seconds and said "That's a bunch of crap, right?"

    great kid...I foresee a good future for him.
    "George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."

    "If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"

    "Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"

    It's simpler than you think.

    I could be completely wrong"

    yeah, probably his brain's churning away as we speak, processing the realization that if there are people out there selling that stuff, there must be people out there buying it...

    if he comes to class riding a new bike in the next few months, you'll know he's figured out which side of that equation he wants to be on...

    BTW, did anyone notice that the link to these shunshentao masters web site lists Ashida Kim as the head honcho?

    yea...I guess his bones are getting too brittle for the trap trick and so he's turning to 'chi' instead of 'ninja' for his buck

    LOL

    I don't think so, though. He's a good kid.
