Okay before coming to Taijiquan I studyed in Kyokushin ryu karate, Iga ryu Ninjutsu, and Arnis In terms of the study I've found a mindset training in taijiquan that differs to any of them. With exception of Arnis and Ninjustsu, I have found that the training only helped with certain stimuli when it ...

hi
Hi Nick, I have been a student of Laoshi Rodell, for around a year give or take, having ceased training in Arnis and another style of Taiji, personally I have found this indespensible. Yet also a challenge of new dimensions. In the Yang family lineage it has been common that this had been the case w...

re qi sensation
This in some other traditions is known as skin breathing, however, I have never heard Laoshi speak about it. He wrote, I believe, in an earlier article that we should keep the qi from extending out, as it is possible to lose qi.
I haven't had the breathing experience as mentioned above.

the thing is that everything happens "in your head". there is no such thing as an objective reality outside of you, except potentially in some kind of advanced enlightened state. An enlightened state is an enlightened state there is no distinction to be made as to whether it is advanced or not, Nirv...

ok
No worries,
Laoshi, may be able to help you out as well. When he arrives back from Estonia that is. He may not know the exact type but he may be able to give you an idea of what to look for.
With much kindness,
Tashi

chin na
It is probably worth noting that chin na is a component of the majority of martial styles, Chinese in origin or otherwise. Thus it is not of itself a particular style. I found Yang's books to be quiet interesting, although in terms of taijiquan the approach to any given application will differ. As w...

re
The Chinese and Tibetans previous to the cultural revolution shared frequent envoys and cross-culturalism so it is difficult to say. I would say that it is a more typical to be Tibetan symbology as the Chinese more prevalently use a similar image which is actually that of a peony flower..One way to ...

They may as well ban kitchen utensils and work tools, oh and bottles and glasses in pubs as well as all blunt objects to be found on the side of the road. Most violent crimes are not done with specialist tools such as a sword.. In any case a career criminal would in most cases ignore such laws. Whic...
