    Thumbs up 1930's Tianjin Wrestlers (Historical Pic)

    Not sure how to post pic's here so I will post a link to my blog.

    Thanks to William for this awesome picture find online! I have always wondered what it would be like to go back and see how those guys trained 100 years ago!

    Enjoy,
    JAB

    What ??
    TCMA posing without their shirts one to show their muscles ???
    Those photos must have been photoshpooed because no real AUTHENTIC (TM) TCMA would do that !!

    I was just going to say, it's obvious that none of those guys had an understanding of so-called "internal" practice...

    Clearly their pecs will become hangers in old age. If you see a real internal master in his old age, his bosoms are plump and perky, and can still make a newborn's mouth pucker.

    yeah they would never strength train with stone locks, barrels full of rocks, barbells, sandbags that were used to train the grip, etc....

    They just did qi gong and posed in strongman poses for chicks, its always about the chicks.
    Mouth Boxers have not the testicular nor the spinal fortitude to be known.
    Hence they hide rather than be known as adults.

    ah there just MMA knuckleheads like the rest of us. Clearly my "theory" is that the picture was made purposly black and white and those are props. they are wearing in an exotic location. They are probably going to try and take over the world with the gang they created called "the new world order"

    Clearly they didn't do the real forms. It's just a shame, living in a country with all that jow, and they just didn't care enough to do something about all that swelling.

    Don't forget carrying buckets of water up innumerable steps with knives tied to their biceps. Everyone trains that way right?

    Are you sure? So far I've only seen guys posting here admiring their physiques!

    Personally I am not impressed, I am already built better than all those guys.....I am sure it is all my stair climbing with buckets of water!

    Pfft, we all know strength training and muscle endurance are not the work of true TCMA masters. Clearly being both scrawny and weak is the way to go.

    We prefer the term "supple".

    Yes, I have an enormous belly from breathing exercises. The method is called chijiaozihepijiuquan.
