Aaaaw, come on now, give my seattle a break!

Well, if you are not going to do any of that stuff above, or intrude inappropriately on others' threads, we can always do with some lighter hearted stuff here.

Essentially correct. In hitting basebal, golfball etc.It is called follow-through but, in internal arts it is continued with your spirit-mind. To do it correctly in a relaxed, (especially under pressure) forceful way with ones own individuality, takes many years with a good teacher.

You do not understand intent as it is applied in the internal arts. As for how old I am, I started study under Raymond Chung and Dave Harris in 1965.

You really have no clue. You consider not falling as balance? Transmitting intent (not force) through and beyond your weapon (all weapons) has been mentioned by many great Wushu masters. Even if all you do is videos, how could you possibly not know that. One of the major concepts of Yiquan is projecting and (retracting) intent. You are having dificulties on transitions. It is plain to see! I have no more time for head-hiding ostriches. I am going to just let Starjumper and Earl Grey have at it. I am to old for glass full BS.

If you wish! The problem as I see it here, is that we could fill pages. But, the only way it is going to matter is if you sell DVDs and get more people on your mountain. I no longer need to make a living. But, you do and I have no problem with that.

Agreed!

So much, where to begin? Improper timing is affecting your balance. You keep going in and out of alignment which also affects your balance. No where near enough intent projecting through your fingers and the tip of your sabre. Not enough powering from the waist.

Thank you, Wizz! I have enjoyed your, unique sense, of humor many times in the past.Your way will balance other ways and maybe, we will come up with a viable middle road.I have no idea what the future has for sean or this site. I do believe that it is much more art than science. I have seen art created by good will though, and bad. I much prefer the former. My intuition tells me that, this time is considerably different than other times in the past, both here and with sean.

Lay Buddhists do eat onions and garlic, but anything from the Allium family (onions, garlic, spring onions, etc.) are avoided by monks, etc because they hinder meditation by causing intestinal gas.It’s pretty hard to reach a state of Samadi with a bloated stomach. In Buddhism:These foods stir the emotions and hinder clear thought, and so should be moderated.

I believe that sean has been overwhelmed, by numerous circumstances, in his personal life--anyone with more information please step forward! We need to offer him all of our support and take care of ouselves (through community building) in the mean-time.

I sincerely believe that, the opening to all the process of, the heart-felt stuff may save the world!

Try to behave, Nungali! ----- On second thought, please don't!

Men dom som misslyckas fastnar i frustrationströskel? But those who fail get stuck in frustration threshold (a frustrating place). Basically, Cleansox is intimating that failing cooperation is frustrating. I certainly agree with that!

Enjoy this day like no other!

Sorry friend, you caught me right in the middle of a re-edit. I am getting slower as I near 70

Hugs in real life with friend, good! Hugs, in real life, with enemy, without checking things out first, bad! Remote hugs with people we have met in the real world, Good! Remote transmission with people you have never met, bad! I don't care how badass you are, the above is a good rule to follow. Why do you think that new meetings, all through history, had some form of showing your empty hands?

Thank you! You saved me from a response that I would, have probably regretted or, at least had to re-edit about ten times.

The best parts of this forum are not accessible until you join. But, you certainly had a good prep going. Godd luck on your continuing adventure!

I am very glad that you are doing due diligence. But, when you posted this, you had been here less than a week.. There is so much material on this site, that you could not have gone through 1% in that amount of time.

This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not be false to any man. Shakespeare via Polonius

I bow to your eighty years and wish for you as many more as you are comfortable with. I see that you joined eight years ago so, some or all of this you may already know. But, since you have asked I will venture an answer here. You may need to thicken your skin a little, because the inner orbit can be a highly contentious topic. I have found that the inner orbit has some seriously powerful healing qualities. But, you need to be careful with it, it can be overdone. If you start to feel tired for several days you need to stop doing it. If energy starts to get stuck in certain places you need to ask people here what is going on and then sift through the responses. Go back into peoples' histories here and see if they are the type of people you want to take advice from. I have found personally, that chakra education mixed with the orbit, gives a broader view of things that can be very helpful. Take care and be well,

I perform the Anjali Mudra an offer you my respect.
