My whole point has been that you cant mathematicaly compute anytype of complex system. If you could 'Chaos' theory would not exist. They try and they try but like the weather [notice im relating here] its just not possible to be totaly accurate

Nice post but just to throw a rather large spanner in the works.
Check my proflie... I study Bagua and Hung Ga under two very traditional instructors and this is basicaly how they teach 'addaptation'. Dont just assume im some in some flash in the pan new age school becouse in fact its quite the opposite.

Glad you could come out to play Now im just gonna keep trying to avoid those claws...
"Never under estimate your opponent, fighting is never easy!"
* Unless your fighting drunk migits with no arms and lepar feet...
Yeah that will learn ya!
"Are you into this chaos theort because of your bagua training being a daoist art?"
* I actualy read up on Chaos years ago but ive found it actualy fits in quite nicely with many of the theorys behind Bagua. I wont go into that though as my understanding is pretty dim really.
"What is primordal chaos?"
* I have absolutely no idea If you would care to explain ill be happy to listen though.
"so after you learn the bagua form you learn how to use free form or no form?"
* Hard one to tackle in some ways. Both would be the ultimate but at the moment im free forming the most as im not at the level to totaly move without thought. Good question ya tricky bastich!
"fighting is no set pattern agree with you here, but setting up and using entry techniques can flow as a form if you know how!"
* Yeah i would agree with you here, it would be nice to get to the level of being able to gain entry and postion without having to resort to set patterns but it would be darn hard. Entering is when the mind is often most active and hard to settle.
"Do you do push hands yet? "
* I learnt this in Hung Ga although ours was a little different, though not much really. I learnt the Tai Chi version though i havent practiced it much yet, been hard on form and mixing up what i know at the moment.
Ok i think thats it
Thanks for everyones posts
Up and down, forward and backward, left and right, its all the same. All of this is done with the mind, not externaly.
