  1. Spontaneous Movement : Form and Formless

    I see alot of internal arts and external kung fu movements in this dance, great health from this dance!
  2. Five element Zhan Zhuang

    Placebo effect!
  3. The Red Sun practice

    Hello I am not against this method but one should at least get a check up and see your doctor as this could elevate the blood pressure and O2 of the brain. Just a thought! Spirit Ape
  4. The Max Christensen Facts Not Fiction Thread.

    Ok, lets look at it this way you can do standing meditation and after 5 mins your legs will burn and tremble and feel pain and the body will bend and sometimes lose its structure due to the stress of holding a position. But with this practice you sit down and lift your heels , NO PAIN, the body then will start vibrating and eventually deending on the person and how they open will start to bounce or jerk, amongst othere things. To me if this is opening up the body i think this is a great practice if you like standing meds then that is your things but i prefer the relaxed method that gives a wackier outcome. So i havent been to a seminar or a transmission but have had some very different and believable things happen, so i give it a Ok. Spirit ape
  5. Five element Zhan Zhuang

    Im a suporter of the spontaneous formless movement and if you understand his 1st book it says the level 1 will open up all the 72,000 nadis so no need for 5 elements. Even Wuji standing will bring all chi around he body, there are people that dont do any exercise or chi kung (5 elements) or worry about that theory and live longer then people with all the theories there is no guarentee in anything you do. Even Kunlun just enjoy the ride and let go this will be better then standing hoping that you are opening, clearing and connecting to metal, water etc.
  6. The Max Christensen Facts Not Fiction Thread.

    Patrick, do you know what Max's Daoist name means, maybe you should look it up and get back to us? I dont think you should judge Max on the practice though!
  7. Who is /are Max's Egyptian teachers?

    Mantra, Leave the clip up who cares about what Patrick says here its fine by most of us! Also what other freaky stuff do you have of Max and students care to share some information here? Spirit Ape
  8. Five element Zhan Zhuang

    There is no such thing as 5 Element standing practice just B.S people create to make more money. You will recieve energy and it will go throughout the body and to all organs it has to dont believe the hype. Ape
  9. Grandmaster Zhang

    Interesting drew, so do you think that your teachers practice (spring forest) could be partly Master Zhangs?
  10. I agree the trailer really doesnt give him or kunlun justice but the practice is good and it works that is what is important for the people that practice it. As for Max and his powers i wouldnt know i never met him im skeptical myself when people calim such things but again its the practice that i like! What is your practice? Ape
  11. Who is /are Max's Egyptian teachers?

    Patrick, The Kunlun shaking is not like what you discribed and you dont have the stress of holding the body structure like standing meditation. Yes, you hold the level 1 posture with the hands and he back will be aligned from sitting on the edge of the chair but its not like standing meditation you are discribing. Both are good and both brings different results i also read on old thread here that Kunlun was also taught as a standing meditation for level 1 but can be dangerous?! If that is true i think that Kunlun level 1 starts seated and then later standing to get possibly better benifits from standing and bone/structure through standing that you dont get through seated.

  12. Anyone here familair with Laohu Gong?

    Hundun, The Tiger form is from Master Zhang that teaches the Pyramid qi kung am i reading you correctly? thanks Spirit Ape Is this the same Shamanic tiger qi kung as Maser Wu? Tiger Qigong Because it is the essence of Taoist Medical Qigong and Internal Kungfu, it was only taught to the royal family in the past. The tiger groaning mantra enables you to gather qi and circulate it in your body. It also teaches you how to make qi water through tiger calligraphy. Each of the eight movements can be used as and individual method in the standing and sitting posture. You can also apply it into qi-emitting and self -defense .It has a remarkable effect in strengthening the body and building up internal power. ( Solo or with a partner) Ape

  16. Who is /are Max's Egyptian teachers?

    Why pay 300 when you can get the book for 20 something bucks? The only thing missing is the transmission and meeting Max right? cheers Spirit Ape
  17. Who is /are Max's Egyptian teachers?

    I think Mantra is trying to help spread the word about Kunlun and if it makes money then good for him who wouldnt want to live off doing something they love most be it dao, kunlun, gung fu, karate, thaiboxing its all health related. Ape
  18. Anyone here familair with Laohu Gong?

    Thanks Hundun, I understand it really isnt much to by the dvd but as you know you do sometimes spend money of a dvd that ends up being not what you wanted so thought to ask for sharing. Do you still practice this system, i see alot of silk reeling and body loosening in it! cheers Ape Craig, Does the DVD explain the breathing with the movements or does it use a natural, reverse breathing pattern? Ape
  19. HAHAHA Wow, tough cookie brown wants to mouth off, how tough are you ass clown?!
  20. Go to his seminar and find out? Even Taomeow is converted since she went to the seminar and all the others on this forum think highly of Max. I bought the book recently and it worked straight away have you even tried it yourself or just talking out of your butt? Ape
