  1. Recently, I cut down more than 20 small invasive trees using small hand saws (as pictured above). I was wondering if some degree of qigong training would make it easier for a saw blade to cut wood. If the arm has a greater quantity of qi flowing through it and is gripping the handle of a saw. Would the saw somehow benefit from this in terms of it being able to cut better. Is there a technique for limiting flow of qigong energy through an arm or hand to test a hypothesis of whether qi flow makes a difference. I ask this as some have commented at the speed at which I can cut through things with a hand saw. As it seems unusually fast. Maybe its due to me not looking like someone who used to be able to bench press near to 2x their body weight. I look more like a stereotypical geek these days. I also enjoy overthinking things.
  2. There are 2 former UFC fighters I know of. Who trained shaolin style martial arts. Dan Hardy Roy Nelson Kung fu did have some representation.
  3. I think this guy is legit. Even has some pro MMA fights.
  4. Supremely Unpopular Opinions

    Prepping my stone age eclownomics in case he was right.
  5. Weight Training & Taoist Practice - Compatability

    Its been said Bruce Lee bench pressed 400 pounds with a body weight of 150 - 170 lbs. Is it possible Bruce Lee used a combination of internal and external training to accomplish this feat? It might also explain his unusual speed and explosive power.
  6. When I had 40 - 100 bags of concrete to move along with buckets of tools and equipment that needed to be carried up and down flights of stairs... I used to wish I had some type of super power to make it easier. If we can put people in space & build computers that execute billions of instructions per second, we must have devised easier and better methods of achieving basic tasks by now? Lucky for us the body can adapt to adverse & unfamiliar environments. (Which could be a type of super power) For those who believe in Christ the following may also apply.
  7. Everyone post some favorite quotes!

    "Today is a good day to take more of my own advice, said no one ever."
  8. What would you do...

  9. Create a fictional religion where being boring is the biggest sin. Where deities have grown tired of thousands of years of humans being predictable and mundane. Uniqueness and originality rank amongst the highest blessings mortals can receive.
  10. Taoist methods

    I don't see spiritual hygiene included. Is spiritual hygiene a legit thing or is it merely viewed as superstition in modern era.
  11. Don't tell anyone. But. The sacred mission of space force. ... Is to deliver a freshly cooked pizza. From low earth orbit to any destination on the globe. (30 minutes or less.)
  12. Is Apreciation a higher energy than Bliss?

    I don't know if its higher energy. Appreciation appears to have a balancing effect.
  13. Jesus and Mohammad

  14. Jesus and Mohammad

    The lineage looks something like this. God is a Creator. Jesus is a Carpenter, Healer and Builder. And what was Muhammad? Can anyone guess?
  15. Where are all the martial artists at?

    Good motivation to train harder. 🐣
