    smile kung fu guy?

    I'm trying to recall the name of an individual to refer to someone. I believe he was highlighted in kungfu taichi magazine at some point.

    the only thing i have to go on is the intentional smiling he incorporates into his practice. perhaps it was qi gung or maybe a style of wushu, i cannot remember.

    but the smiling was an important aspect in the training.

    help a guy out!!!

    Mantak Chia teaches intentional smiling in his Daoist ("Daoist"?) meditational practices. Interesting fellow.

    Some classmates said they got scared if I started smiling while I sparred them. They knew something bad was about to happen to them, haha.

    this thread reminds me of one's signature

    some leaves a ninja star

    some leaves a flower

    some leaves a note

    --

    what would you do or leave behind

    what would you like to be called

    the smiley xia or xiao xia

    or the ka/ ke

    certain wound/injury from your way of fighting punches and kicks

    in short

    your name, your face, your way of fighting

    i think its a different guy but similar concept, thanks! i have a friend that teaches 'laughter yoga' not sure exactly what it is other than it incorporates laughter and yoga...but when i was talking with her i was trying to remember this gongfu guy so she could check it out.

    thanks again. and if anyone can remember specifically the gentleman that was highlighted in this magazine, i would love to get the name still. went through my mags but havnt found it yet...
