    (They Thought He Was a Goner) The Cat Came Back

    Quote

    "Long ago... [mankind] recognized that all perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or tenuity beyond conception, filling all space, the Akasha or luminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never ending cycles all things and phenomena. The primary substance, thrown into infinitesimal whirls of prodigious velocity, becomes gross matter; the force subsiding, the motion ceases and matter disappears, reverting to the primary substance".-Nikola Tesla

    "In order to do anything in this lift,
    we must first have energy."

    "Inwardly alert, open, calm.
    Outwardly upright, extended, filled with spirit.
    This is the foundation of stillness.
    Add the hard and the soft, the powerful and the relaxed,
    Motion and stillness, contraction and extension:
    In the instant these converge, there is power."

    Can't remember if I inserted my getting ran over by a ford story in here, but I know I wrote about it somewhere.  I also was declared un-responsive for 26 minutes after a lesson took a left where i shoulda took a right kinda sorta thing.  I sure learned a with that lesson.  So I just wanted to throw in I have broken both shins since then as well, they are really tough now.  Mobility for me has not peaked out as I am still stretching and absorbing and contracting to get my bones re aligned from these accidents, lol.

    HELLO IM STILL HERE!  Actually found my way back.  Nice decor!  It's been awhile since I have shared much at all.  My father's death last year has completely altered my plans.  In retrospect making plans seems so silly now.  I just wanted to point out, A-I'm still alive!   B.-I got depressed!  YES I thought it was BS, to be honest, I thought depression was never going to be one of my problems, wow was I wrong!  I feel in a deep deep hole.  I am kind of glad it was so deep or I wouldn't have worked so hard climbing back out.

    Now I have realized what an experience these years have been and all the wisdom I have aquired!  I thank each and every one involved in my kung fu journey as I was very juvenile when I first joined (lol as if im "more civilized" now) and posted some silly stuff, but all of my posts here have been from the heart.

    There is no secret to the Ng Wuji system, but it's simple and it works!  

    I am sticking with what works.  I also have two other routine meditations that are not bagua related but in my opinion they are bagua too, I am only slighly veering from a genuine unothrodox baguazhang system.    

    With all that said, I remember wondering if I would still be posting honetstly and if I could maintain a balance in the ebb and flow of life.  Well, I could have done FAR better.  ...but I didn't do worse, so I still strive to improve each and every day!

    IMO, there is not a more complete system than Yin Fu style, same goes with Jiang, Gao, Liang.  I am studying the Jiang Rong Qiao methods as well as the old "snake" baguazhang from Dragon Gate Sanctuary.  Below is an example of each family's Baguazhang.

    Hello, not sure why I had to start a new account, but I did!

    My name is Jason and I am from KY.  I play baguazhang and learned from Sifus Mark Speck and Scott Harris as a kid.  Scott Came back about eight to ten years ago and showed me some knife play and baguazhang's circle walking.  At the time I was very ill.  In fact had been in and out of the hospital with liver issues.  The nei gung couldn't have came at a better time.  I remember old Sifu saying "You move like an 80 year old man." and he was right  At any rate here we are today.  Nice to meet yas...
