How do you differentiate a martial artist from martial arts practitioners? And why not go from someone eho focus on Taoist energetic arts, since the term is wuji? I prefer Bruce Frantzis definition of the stance, it is more logical than Damo Mitchell's. Bruce names the stance you described, btw.

Why? Why would a definition by a martial artist take presedence over the definition made by someone else?

That would be a reference to what that specific hand position work with, as in different handposition = different internal work.

I started with that stance, and really didn't get that much out of it. A shoulder injury from sparring didn't help. Changed to another, things started to happen, and have moved through a system of standing positions since then.
