You are a very good writer.

Did your grandmaster actually tell you that? Or is it one of those rumors started by a misunderstood remark that somebody made over a glass of cheap wine?

And Paul Dong can really make you feel his Qi.

Mr Goninan quick question to you if I may. Would you be willing to beat me up in order to demonstrate to me the efficiency of your art? Thank you. Orb

You said that you would love to join if you were in Australia. Now I am just curious - why would you love to join? What is so appealing about this advertisement? (without taking into consideration that the website is silly looking...)

well most of the so called qigong demos are "tricks" and "stunts" also - this is just the indian version with bad indian music... but nothing new really...

Good call sir!

I believe that a big problem that appeared since the publishing of the book was something along the lines: Here is an amazing valid system that many people would love to practice but they can't because the access has been denied (the reasons are irrelevant) So I have a question with two kinda ramifications: Since Kosta (and westerners in general) cannot be taught past level 3(or 2b), what form of Qigong/Neigung does he continue to practice? Or is there any other school that he would recommend since Mopai is inaccessible to westerners? Thank you Mr. Becker for doing this.

It does sound interesting. I just ran into this old thread from 2006 regarding the White Crane lineage... http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41983

Well actually when it comes to "keeping it real" there's nothing like turkish cinematography

I never understood this philosophy. So the guy is a master but he can't control his energy to the point that he could accidentaly kill the opponent. It just sounds like a cheap lie. Since you are a "Master" and a "Hi level one" you should be able to control that energy. Why can't u just hurt the opponent to the point where he gives up. I would love to get hurt by a Hi level master. It's just nobody offers that. Then they would also use the karma excuse ............ I mean any excuse just not to do a simple demo that can be filmed.

will do

You know I actually liked ur theory about the "killing instinct", but then those nerdy videos just killed it. I really hope you don't try to use that against MMA.

I find this info interesting and it helps that it's all in one thread.

@Immortal4life I really enjoyed all your posts above. Thank you so much for sharing.

Do you know if Michael Winn still goes to these caves ?

nice vid

I'm supporting Seth Ananda ! And .... I agree with Scotty 100%! Well, Mal is also right! so hmmm .... anybody want some tea ? Green tea is good for you! or maybe noodle soup?

That does help a lot. Thanks for sharing.

why do they always play that stupid music in the background?

First time I c taichi that doesn't get me sleepy. Maybe there's a practical use for it after all.....

Hmm... well, my personal goal is to learn more about real practical taichi. What I am not interested in is empty forms that people practice for ever and imagine that they are perfecting their skill. I also don't like to learn from books or DVDs and I don't trust people that call themselves martial artists but never fight. But some explanations coming from personal understanding that people have, as well as references/reviews to good teachers - are among the best contributions made to this forum IMO. Also sometimes you can learn even from people that you don't agree with or you don't like... So if you or anybody else can contribute in any way to the topic then I (and I'm sure other people) would be very grateful. Thank you all for providing so much good info.
