    lol, he might have been inferring that you couldn't possible whack off 'too often'.

    I thought that we already established that Wan King Chuan depletes the Jing and is a bad thing to practice too often.

    "get into the deeper sleep before your body really gets to start recuperating and healing."

    Ahhh... Yes. I left that off my list.
    There are really too many variables to make definate statements about how much anyone needs on a generalized basis.

    "depends, I was taught a special chi kung to reestablish the chi pool post wank."

    Sweet. Like a pron stra.

    ttt 4 2016!

    Man, you come straight outta a Jackie Chan movie.

    Extra points to whoever can name which one.

    There is a vid if you follow the link, but the scene from that Jackie Chan movie is better.

    Snooze like a Kung Fu master: Formidable Chinese builder takes a comfortable nap on a SINGLE ROPE

    Fu Hong, 45, from Bijie in south-west China keeps balance on rope strand
    Called 'Mr Rope-Sleeper' by friends and known for sleeping around town
    Says he doesn't want the fame and just wants simpler life of a farmer

    A Chinese man has attracted attention in his local area by performing a remarkable feat of balance - falling asleep on a single strand of rope used as a make-shift hammock.

    Fu Hong, a 45-year-old builder from Bijie, Guizhou province, south-west China, is known locally for hanging up his rope horizontally around town and laying down on it with perfect balance.

    He is even called 'Mr Rope-Sleeper' by his colleagues on the construction site and his impressive antics first started to go viral on the internet five years ago.


    Talent: Fu Hong, a 45-year-old builder from Bijie, south-west China, is able to sleep on a rope held horizontally


    Famous: He is even called 'Mr Rope-Sleeper' by his colleagues on the construction site and went viral in 2010


    Showman: Fu is endowed with powerful muscles and says he has never been a fan of performing Kung Fu

    Despite the fact that he is short in stature, Fu is endowed with powerful muscles gained from his work on the construction site and says he has never been a fan of performing Kung Fu.

    However he is able to lie completely flat on the rope without any visible wobbles and remain there, rather like a martial arts master from a historical drama.

    When Fu was spotted wowing tourists with his stunt at a train station in October 2010, People's Daily Online reported that he had once performed the feat for over an hour.

    Fu's colleagues also told reporters how he is a hard-working, modest but undeniably talented person to work with when he isn't doing his party trick.

    He has now returned to his hometown, which is being featured for redevelopment by the Chinese government, and is helping work on the construction there.


    Amazing: Fu's colleagues also told reporters how he is a hard-working, modest but undeniably talented person


    Slumber: Fu says there is a piece of rope hanging in his house and that he gets some much-needed rest on it


    Suspended: Fu says he wanted to keep this talent of his quiet because he didn’t mean to become famous

    The builder was challenged by members of the local media to see if he can still pull off his trademark stunt five years after he first shot to fame, and confirmed that it was simple for him to do.

    Fu says there is a piece of rope hanging in his house the whole time and that he gets some much-needed rest on it whenever he’s free to do so.

    However, he says he wanted to keep this quiet because he didn’t mean to become famous and confirmed that all he really wanted was the ordinary life of a farmer.

    Greetings,

    Pre Jackie Chan greatness. Sleeping on rope was featured in the New One Armed Swordsman that starred David Chiang and Ti Lung.

    In the movie "Choi Lee Fut Kung Fu" (may be western title version) starring Cliff Lok & Yang Pan Pan, 'Monk Grass', one of Cliff Lok's teachers is first seen sleeping on a rope on the side of a mountain (the famous Choy Lay Fut mountain).

    This movie had some of the same main supporting cast as Jackie Chan's "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow" & the first "Drunken Master." I wondered if Cliff Lok weren't more in the spotlight, maybe he would've gotten Jackie's career? or maybe not? He certainly seemed to possess the skill and knack for it.

    Greetings,

    MarathonTmatt:

    Cliff Lok may have been one of the last of the actors of what I call the golden era, 1950's-1970's, who was a martial artist before going into the movies. His nickname, Golden Child, suggested high hopes for him and his presence in the business; then again, he looked like a big boy. He did not have the heroic look. If he had gone into choreography, he might have faired a whole lot better.

    IMO, Cliff Lok was good, but as a star/performer/choreographer, he could never have approached Jackie Chan's level of star power. I agree with mickey that he lacked a hero's looks (then again, so did Jackie until the cosmetic surgery on his eyelids just prior to Snake in the Eagle's Shadow). But more than that, he simply wasn't as charismatic, nor was he the onscreen genius that JC was. Although I personally preferred Sammo to JC.

    If I recall correctly, Lau Kar-Leung's Mad Monkey Kung Fu also featured sleeping on a rope.
