So if you can do it, why am I not allowed to? Ok, lets stop it here. You don't see the difference between historical sources which include information from some authentic lineages, and someone's personal belief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluffyGuardian Posted 13 hours ago And once we actually dig deeper into the historical sources... all of a sudden you very quickly wanted to change the topic to modern Yang and Chen Style instead of historical sources.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vajra Fist Posted 10 hours ago 8 hours ago, Antares said: @Vajra Fist Wudang is not whorehouse. There are still a few authentic Daoist lineages which have preserved ZSF methods of neidan. They are just not open to the public.  I'm joking of course. It's a famous line from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - which ironically was the thing that turned wudang into a tourist trap.  I'm curious about your thoughts on lineage. To me, that's less important than whether someone has skill.  For instance, the form itself may be really old, but performed in a completely external, empty way.  Something relatively new, like the CMC or HSS form, may conversely be practiced to a very high level. The difference is not in the external choreography, but whether the practitioner can use the form to express jin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
