Some years ago I’d practice opening the energy gates. I’ve gone back to this practice doing a cyclical run through of , standing - cloud hands - spinal stretch , then repeat… I’m wondering , are there any other bums that use the BKF Water tradition practices? And if so what sort of adjunct practices do you find fit in your regimen? I know in the past Shibashi was very complementary and there were no side effects of mixing practices. Do you have any sets that fit really nice with it? For now I’m doing BKF opening energy gates (minus the swings) and some Wing Chun kungfu afterwards. I’m also starting the practice of OMAD only eating one meal a day. The chi flow when I go to bed is strong 💪:) Any advice from older Tao Bums that have followed BKF would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance Taoist brothers and sisters.

Just reading the comments on this and catching up. While we are talking about female martial artists. Cynthia Rothrock sprung to mind, she is the real deal if you ask me one of the rare few female martial artists to make it as a competitive martial artists and a great film career out of her art too…

To me a real martial artist will use his or her skills to diffuse a situation rather than add more aggression to it. Since learning wing Chun I’m never thrown a punch. I’ve used stepping and turning and bong Sau to ward off attacks. The situations always diffuse. i’m speaking as a regular citizen though not a hard boiled fighter. That being said lots of time spent shadow boxing , slowing things right down and considering every possibility creates imo a good martial artist. Of course it’s not pressure testing it though. Perhaps it makes it more art and less martial. I’m happy either way , being a peaceful being I’m rather bring peace with my martial arts than fighting. The three prayers to Buddha done with reverse breathing keeps me ready though and strong.
