taijiquan_student, you are being silly. Tell me about the state of CMA in the USA, before and after Bruce Lee.

Do you consider Bruce Lee to be the greatest master of kungfu ever to reach our shores? Or was he the greatest FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHER, i.e. DANCER?

Which came first, taiji or daoyin? Don't talk about the "true art", it sounds provincial and self-serving.

I find it hard to believe that ordinary people with no exposure to martial arts at all will have an easier time understanding and grasping the principles of the very quasi-philosophic, new-agey, "one-with-your-spirit" brand of dance laid out in the original article than they will learning and understanding the principles of real taiji

Have you been to the grocery store lately? They have 3 different brands of "zen iced tea", but still no boxing manuals. Do you understand this?
