makes the quality of the practice much more enjoyable knowing that you could smoosh your head like a melon... creates an atmosphere of concentration. i usually throw them like 6 feet or so in an arch, catch and sink into horse... stand and throw... repeat.
one handed cartwheels...
tiger walking on your finger tips!!!
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
once i ate mushrooms in the woods and crawled around on all fours for a couple hours.
crab walking on your fingertips.
cartwheels on your knuckles of a closed fist.
push ups on back of hands, go down, push up(taking hands off the ground) and rotate to palms down, land and go down, push up and rotate hands, land on back of hands. repeat the pattern, throw in some fists or other hand variations in there.
hand stand pushups. alternating between fist, fingers, and palm.
also develops some nice strength.

iron chain training is another method... here in this picture, , i am holding the ring of the chain on extended arms, it's weight being approx at 130lbs(i haven't weighed it, but it's far heavier than a bag of portland-94lbs)... the weight falls(hangs) lower than ones center of gravity... while holding the ring, one can alternate pulling it apart or pushing it in during the inhale or exhale... a variety of combinations are possible... obviously you can see the extent of proper concentration or else one might pitch over onto the concrete 9 feet below... the chain also has a hook at the end to added more weight...
man i wish i lived at your house !

because it looks like a great place to train from all your pictures. looks secluded, and with lots of room and wilderness.
i live in the city, sooo...not so much.
I have to admit, for an apartment, my place isnt too bad. but its still an apartment.
Also I think the neighbors above, and on both sides of me hate me when I train

it's actually an illusion... i live on 3.5 acres(we own) in the middle of a town, my driveway is a right of way and no one will ever develop around me, yet 30 seconds in a car and you have 5 banks, 4 gas stations, a strip mall of outlet store, I-80, and all the hustle and bustle of a large suburban like rural town... in my yard you can hear the highway... but i must admit it is still quite nice... luck of the tiger i guess...
I guess it all comes down to the fact I have no motivation to buy a house.
I'm thinking I'll buy a boat in at least 10 years and live on that.
Hmmmm, I wonder what it would be like to practice kungfu to the rolling of waves....
My mother lived on a 45' sailboat and just traveled. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit her when I was younger, and that experience has always made me want that life.
besides, i always wanted to die fighting the planet, like in a raging storm that consumes every trace of me.
we'll see
